Science in Perspective

Dark Electrons: Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud

Sean McClure Season 1 Episode 9

In this episode, I talk about the phenomenon of dark electrons in exotic materials, how they emerge from hidden states of matter, and why they may play a central role in superconductivity. I also explore the broader idea that much of nature operates in ways that remain hidden from our usual scientific tools.
