The Quest For The Most Elusive Material In Physics
Zack Geballe spent months screwing together pairs of polished diamonds at the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Geophysical Laboratory. Theory predicted that squeezed between the diamonds’ tips could be one of the most miraculous substances of modern physics — a material that, at near room temperature, could transport electricity without losing power. He just needed to…
