The strange metals are structurally close to high-temperature superconductors, which have the potential to conduct electricity without energy loss. Understanding them could revolutionize power grids and make energy transmission more efficient.

Part of the array of the superconducting nanoloops. The diameter of the wires in the picture is 25 nanometers. The length of the wires in the small loops is 150 nanometers and in the large ones 500 nanometers, while the diameter of the wires that make up each loop is 25 nanometers (photo: the laboratory of Prof. Yosef Yeshuron, Bar-Ilan University)

In "heavy fermion" materials, free electrons used for electrical conduction react strongly with atoms and sink to low energy levels before re-emerging and continuing on their way. Their slow progress makes them look heavy. Photo by Mohammad Hamidian/Davis Lab
