What Makes High Temperature Superconductivity Possible? Researchers Get Closer to a Unified Theory

Caption

Researchers combined high magnetic fields with X-ray scattering to reveal the connection between superconducting vortices (black circles), charge density waves (red wiggles), and spin density waves (blue wiggles) in a cuprate superconductor.
