Scientists from Bar-Ilan University and Harvard have cracked the code of several enigmatic experiments — performed over the past 15 years on superconductors — by developing a mathematical tool to find the shape of the electrons in these materials. Their recent discovery published in Nature Physics provides an innovative technique for calculating the shapes of electrons. This finding will help scientists gain a better understanding of the properties of complex materials, said Dr. Emanuele Dalla Torre of BIU's Dept of Physics.
