Electrons that can\u2019t be detected within materials still play a role in determining their properties<\/p>\n

\u201cDark\u201d electrons within solid materials may help us learn more about the behaviour of high-temperature superconductors<\/a>, and perhaps solve other mysteries in material science.<\/p>\n

Most of a material\u2019s properties, such as how easily it conducts electricity or reflects light, are dictated by the motion of its electrons. One way of determining these properties is spectroscopy \u2013 shining a light on a material and analysing the spectrum of the light that bounces back in order to reveal which frequencies are absorbed or reflected.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
