Cooper pairs found above superconducting critical temperature in pair density waves
Physicists with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering have identified a new form of superconducting behavior. Experiments on the metal uranium ditelluride reveal that Cooper pairs, the composite electron units responsible for superconductivity, can organize into nonuniform patterns that exist even when the main superconducting phase is absent.
We haven't written up this one. Phys.org has the full story — the link below goes straight to it.
