Why is high temperature superconductivity so hard to solve?


The phenomenon of high temperature superconductivity has been known for decades, particularly layered cuprate superconductors. We know the precise lattice structure of the materials. We know the band theory of electrons and how electronic orbitals mix. But yet, theoreticians still haven't solved high Tc superconductivity yet. What is the obstacle to solving it? What are we missing?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
