The Kondo effect occurs when magnetic impurities cause a metal's electrical resistance to increase upon cooling. The new calculation approach successfully accounts for the actual structure of the physical material rather than relying on a simplified model. The breakthrough research has been published in the journal Science.Why it mattersThe Kondo effect is regarded as one of the mos
