🦋 Scientists observe 'Hofstadter's butterfly' for the first time
Scientists from Princeton University have measured the energy levels of electrons in a new quantum material and discovered that they follow a fractal pattern.The quantum version of the fractal pattern, known as "Hofstadter's butterfly," has been theoretically predicted since 1976 but has now been directly observed for the first time in a real material.The discovery was made by accident when researchers were investigating superconductivity in twi…
