  • Indian scientists, led by Prof Bivas Saha from JNCASR, have discovered how electron confinement in nanoscale metals disrupts normal plasmonic properties, challenging traditional understandings. Published in Science Advances,

Scientists have discovered a new phenomenon in metal behavior known as "collective electronic states," which could revolutionize technology in fields like electronics, energy, and quantum computing. This discovery involves the observation of how electrons in metals can behave collectively under certain conditions, leading to unique properties not seen in individual electron behaviors. The research, detailed in a study published in the journal Nature, suggests that these collective states could lead to the development of materials with unprecedented electrical, thermal, and magnetic properties. This breakthrough has the potential to enhance the efficiency of electronic devices, improve energy storage solutions, and pave the way for more stable and efficient quantum computing systems by manipulating these collective electron behaviors.
