Description

Yiou Zhang, Sergei Urazhdin, and three co-authors listen to the noise in a strange metal's current. Their paper, from twenty twenty-four, studies strontium iridate, a metal near a sharp phase edge. Past the edge it would stop conducting at all. Its odd traits hint that electrons inside do not act as lone particles.

The team measures shot noise from tiny junctions of the metal. The noise is far lower than lone-particle flow would give. Heat checks and size scaling point to electrons hopping in groups, held near-fixed by their mutual push. The result offers a new probe for metals that break the standard rules.
