"Breakthrough in Superconductivity: Physicists Forge Path to Exotic Form"

Physicists have discovered a mechanism for the formation of oscillating superconductivity, known as pair-density waves, shedding light on an unconventional, high-temperature superconductive state found in certain materials. The researchers identified that Van Hove singularities can produce modulating states of superconductivity, providing a new theoretical framework for understanding this behavior. Superconductivity, the ability to conduct electricity without energy loss, holds great potential for various applications, and the discovery of this mechanism could pave the way for further exploration and development of superconducting materials.
