DESCRIPTION
Scientists discover that disorder is part of the structural transition of Vanadium Dioxide from an insulator state to a metallic state at extremely small time resolutions This provides a new perspective on how to control matter, especially in the field of superconductivity, which could have major implications for nanotechnology and optoelectronics.
