A new study from researchers at South Korea’s Yonsei University reveals that solid materials do contain dark electrons. The finding will also allow scientists to develop novel superconductor materials.

Dark energy is not limited to outer space, many solid materials around us also contain electrons hidden in dark states.Until now scientists believed that dark electrons, electrons associated with the quantum state of matter, simply don’t exist in solid materials.

However, the researchers chose materials with two pairs of sublattices for their study. This is because they could deduce the number of total electrons in the sublattices of such materials. The study authors knew that materials with two pairs of sublattices in their quantum state have four types of electrons. However, when they used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy , a technique used for studying electrons in solid materials, they obtained a different result.). It revealed the presence of only one type of electron. This meant that the remaining three types of electrons didn’t interact with the photos, suggesting they were in a dark state.
