SLAC and Stanford team reveals superconductor trait (IMAGE)
Caption
Stanford Professor Zhi-Xun Shen (center) and SLAC staff scientists Makoto Hashimoto (left) and Donghui Lu are seen in early 2020 at a Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource beamline at SLAC. Experiments here and at Stanford, led by Stanford PhD student Sudi Chen (not pictured), have revealed the long-sought fourth signature of the superconducting transition – the point where pairs of electrons begin to conduct electricity with no loss – in a cuprate material.
