Why some metals turn transparent: A key mechanism for touchscreen conductors (phys.org) 5 points by westurner 4mo ago ↗ HN
[–] westurner 4mo ago ↗ ScholarlyArticle: "Oxygen Isotope Fingerprints of Electron-Phonon Coupling in SrVO3 Films" (2026) https://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/mtzb-b5ww :> Abstract: [...] Our findings suggest that e-ph interactions may surpass e−e scattering in governing the resistivity of metallic ionic lattices
[–] gus_massa 4mo ago ↗ Nice article, but horrible title: From the article:> Although metals normally reflect visible light, some metallic oxides behave differently and become unexpectedly transparent.It's like comparing the Hydrogen in a Zeppelin to the water in the river.
