The Quantum Matter Group at Cambridge explores the world of strange and mysterious materials! They study how electrons behave in extreme conditions like super cold temperatures or under high pressure to uncover new states of matter. Their work includes figuring out why some materials, like high-temperature superconductors, can carry electricity without any loss, and how materials near magnetic or ferroelectric transitions can do extraordinary things.

 

Using cutting-edge tools like powerful magnets and tiny diamonds to squeeze crystals, they’re discovering secrets that could lead to revolutionary technologies like better computers, energy storage, and even futuristic cooling systems. It's science on the edge of the unknown!
