Extensive theoretical and experimental efforts have been devoted to the effect of quantum criticality in our understanding of the physics of high-temperature superconductors and strongly correlated electron materials, yet it remains a puzzle in condensed matter physics. The authors report observations of a quantum criticality by investigating the non-Fermi liquid thermodynamics and transport behaviour in a non-superconducting iron pnictide.
