Ames Lab Scientists Study Superconductors (IMAGE) DOE/Ames National Laboratory Caption Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory are using specialized techniques to help unravel the mysteries of iron-based superconductors. As part of an international collaboration, (from left) Kiyul Cho, Ruslan Prozorov and Makariy Tanatar found that magnetism may be helping or even responsible for superconductivity in iron-based superconductors.
