Revealing the Dirac fluid in graphene

Abstract: Although the electrons in metals are interacting, it has been notoriously hard to discover evidence for hydrodynamics in electron fluids. In the first half of the talk, I will review what hydrodynamics is, why it is interesting and why it is so hard to see in metals. In the second half, I will discuss the theoretical and experimental developments which enabled us to observe signatures of 'relativistic' hydrodynamics in a strongly-interacting Dirac fluid in charge neutral graphene.
