Scientists glimpse signs of a puzzling state of matter in a superconductor
E-Mail IMAGE: Scientists at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory used an improved X-ray technique to explore exotic states of matter in an unconventional superconductor that conducts electricity with 100% efficiency at relatively high... view more Credit: Jun-Sik Lee/SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Unconventional superconductors contain a number of exotic phases of matter that are thought to play a role, for better or worse, in their ability to conduct electricity with 100% efficiency at much higher temperatures than scientists had thought possible - although still far short ...
