"Breakthrough Discovery: Physicists Unveil Promising Route to Exotic Superconductivity"

Physicists have discovered a mechanism, called pair-density waves, that leads to oscillating superconductivity in certain materials, including high-temperature superconductors. The researchers identified this mechanism through structures known as Van Hove singularities and published a new theoretical framework. Superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity without energy loss, holds great potential for various applications, and understanding unconventional superconductive states is crucial for further advancements in the field. The discovery provides a foundation for experimentalists to explore the possibilities of this behavior and brings us closer to the goal of practical room-temperature superconductivity.
