Our paper on density fluctuations in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This study shows that, unlike conventional metals, this so-called “strange metal” does not exhibit propagating plasmons. Instead, it shows a continuum of fluctuations exhibiting “local scale invariance”–a phase in which time and space axes become decoupled. The origin of these fluctuations is still a mystery.
