Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex SystemsNew Theory Explains the True Upper Limit of Conventional SuperconductivityA new theoretical study has identified a fundamental kinetic barrier that limits how strongly electrons can couple to lattice vibrations in metals. Because electron–phonon coupling directly controls the superconducting critical temperature in conventional superconductors, this finding places a strict upper limit on how high the critical temperature can rise in phonon-mediated systems. The work was supported in part by the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in Korea.Read More

Center for Theoretical Physics of Complex SystemsIBS Researchers Reveal New Light-Matter Interaction in Time-Modulated Photonic MediaA research team including scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) in South Korea has uncovered a groundbreaking way for atoms to emit and absorb light using time-periodic photonic structures, known as photonic time crystals (PTCs). Their findings challenge the conventional understanding of light-matter interaction and reveal a new physical process called spontaneous emission excitation, where atoms absorb energy from temporal modulation while emitting light. This phenomenon is impossible in static environments.Read More
