In line with expectations, new quantum noise experiments conducted at Rice University revealed an unusually quiet “strange metal” quantum material. The measurements of quantum charge fluctuations, or "shot noise," which were published in Science, offer the first concrete proof that electricity appears to flow through peculiar metals in a peculiar liquid-like form that defies easy explanation in terms of quantized charge packets, or quasiparticles.
