String theory could help explain the properties of
high-temperature superconductors, writes
Nature’s Eugenie Samuel Reich. In a paper
published in
Physical Review Letters
, Subir Sachdev of Harvard University shows that the
fractionalized Fermi liquid model’s characteristics match
those of a type of black hole in string theory. "We're still a
long way from saying string theory explains strange matter but
we have hope," Sachdev says. "It's very exciting because it's a
whole new perspective."
