New Technique for Investigating High-Temperature Superconductivity

In condensed matter physics, one of the greatest puzzles is to find the precise link between superconductivity and charge order in cuprate superconductors. In the case of superconductors, electrons move freely through the material—there is no resistance upon being cooled below its critical temperature.
