The Nobel Prize in chemistry to John B. Goodenough
In the first raw from left to rigth: Takeshi Egami, Antonio Bianconi, John Goodenough, Charles P. Slichter.
Today Oct 9, 2019 the scientific community of Superstripes is very happy for the announcement of the Nobel Prize in chemistry, to John B. Goodenough.
We all congratulate with John for the discovery of Lithium batteries but we all think that : "John finally won the prize" since he made so many other beautiful discoveries in the science of quantum materials.
John B. Goodenough with Alex K. Muller [nobel Laureate] and Lev Gor'kov [Ugo Fano Gold Medal] has partecipated at the first Stripes conference (held in 1996) and at many following Stripes and Superstripes conferences where he presented the key role of pseudo Jahn Teller polaron stripes and for new of phase segregation in perovskite high Tc superconductors.
The picture was taken at the Sripes conference held in Rome in 2004

A SCIENTIFIC NOTE ON THE HYPERBOLIC GEOMETRY FAVORING MACROSCOPIC QUANTUM PHENOMENA AT HIGH TEMPERATURE
The evolution of the Universe after the Big Bang started from a disordered state of massless particles at a very high temperature. Later, with the temperature decreasing down, these particles begin to gain a mass thanks to the spontaneous symmetry breaking of Gauge symmetries. This effect, is the base for the Higgs mechanism. The massive particles form protons and neutrons and finally the atoms.
PRESS RELEASE
An international research team, involving researchers of RICMASS, shows that heterogeneous systems not only display fascinating phenomena such as the emergence of life made of jiggling atoms in the cell, and the self organization of social networks, bur also could favor the emergence of a macroscopic quantum coherent state of many particles at high temperature. New experimental results, published in the NATURE issue of 17 Sept 2015, show that superconductivity at high temperature takes advantage from a non Euclidean space created by intertwining of inhomogeneity of charge density wave order and material complexity.
