Introduction
For over a century, we’ve put up with messy explanations of how electricity flows.
You probably learned about the “electron cloud,” “free electron gas,” “holes” in semiconductors, and mysterious “phonons” mediating superconductivity. But if you ever stopped to ask what any of it actually means, you were met with metaphors, hand-waving, and statistical fog.
No more.
With Stein Theory, we now have a deterministic geometric model of the electron—and that unlocks a crystal-clear explanation for how conduction really works, across every material class.
At the heart of this new framework is a simple, elegant mechanism:
Face-locks between triangle-triplet electron structures
Rotational geometry and torsion replace vague probabilistic flows
Momentum, not energy, as the primary driver of conduction
No more “holes,” no more guesswork, no more phonons
This mechanism doesn’t just make sense—it solves long-standing mysteries, predicts new materials, and shows us how to build faster, cleaner, more efficient devices, including solar cells and superconductors.
The Face-Lock Conduction Series (2025)
Here’s the complete set of publications, each building on the last. You’ll find unification, prediction, and even a few academic mic drops along the way.
Universal Face-Lock Conduction: A Geometric Unification of Metals, Superconductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators
The cornerstone paper.
This one lays out the full model: a single geometric interaction—rotational face-locking of triangle-triplet electrons—that explains all known conduction types. Every regime, from resistors to superconductors, emerges as a different form of face-lock propagation or collapse. No new particles. No fudge factors. Just geometry doing what geometry does.
Lamb Chemistry: A Geometric Model for Superconductivity and Exotic Cryogenic Materials
New bonding class discovered.
At low temperatures, electron triplets can form Lamb bonds—a new kind of geometrically aligned structure that doesn’t exist in standard chemistry. These structures explain exotic cryogenic behaviour and open up whole new categories of materials: Lamb crystals. This is where superconductivity starts to look like precision Lego, not statistical soup.
Cooper Pairs Without Phonons: A Geometric Reinterpretation from Stein Theory
No more phonons.
Cooper pairs form naturally when triangle triplets align. No need to invoke lattice vibrations or fictional glue. This paper reinterprets the essence of superconductivity in clean geometric terms, showing how supercurrents emerge directly from electron structure.
A Deterministic Geometric Explanation for Superconductivity from Stein Theory
Superconductivity, step-by-step.
This one walks through the full chain of logic: from magnetic collapse in locked triangles, to momentum handoff, to unbroken current flow. The process is deterministic, testable, and elegant. If you want the theory behind the magic, this is your go-to.
Face-Lock-Driven Materials Design: Predicting New Superconductors and Photonic-Activated Semiconductors
Here come the predictions.
This paper flips the switch from theory to practice. Using face-lock geometry, we outline new classes of materials that should superconduct—and describe photon-activated semiconductors that could make solar cells far more efficient by bypassing nonsense like hole drift. Yes, you read that right: better solar cells, by ditching fake physics.
A Stein Theory Transport Model for Metals: Face-Lock Conduction and the Geometry of Resistivity
No more “sea of electrons.”
This paper explains how metals really conduct—through geometric torsion transfers between face-locked triangle triplets. Electrons don’t flow like water; they pass on torque like gears in a precision machine.
T⁵ Resistivity from Torsional Break-up of Face-Locks: A Stein Theory Derivation Without Phonons
Mystery solved.
The T⁵ resistivity slope at low temperatures has baffled researchers for decades. We show it emerges naturally from torsional break-up of face-locks as temperature rises. No phonons needed. Just geometry under pressure.
Everything You Were Ever Taught About Electronics Was Total Bollocks
Title says it all.
This is the demolition job. We tear down the entire edifice of legacy electronics theory—holes, band gaps, clouds, and quasiparticles—and show what really happens when a circuit turns on. Not for the faint-hearted. Definitely not for textbook writers.
What This Means
Stein Theory doesn’t just clean up the physics—it offers a platform for real innovation:
Predictive design of superconductors based on geometry, not trial-and-error
Solar cells that don’t waste half their energy obeying outdated models
A unified theory that works across every material class—from metals to quantum cryo-systems
No more “effective mass” fudge factors or half-invented particles
And yes—this was all done solo.
This is just the beginning. More papers are in preparation—including full electronic models, photonic integration, and exotic materials design frameworks.
All of this research is provided free. No patents. No licenses. And it didn’t cost taxpayers a penny. I did all of it myself, without even a grant.
