Kind: research · Impact: low

## In brief

- Measurements on micrometer-scale cadmium samples provide evidence of an unusual charge-transport regime in a 3D metal.
- The study is by Xiaodong Guo, Xiaokang Li, Benoît Fauqué, Alaska Subedi, Lingxiao Zhao, Zengwei Zhu and Kamran Behnia.
- The paper is published in Physical Review Letters, volume 137, article 206301.

## Why it matters

It documents a viscous electron-fluid transport regime in a three-dimensional metal, which bears on how charge flows in metals.
