Are new nickelate superconductors close kin to the original high-temperature superconductors, the cuprates? The first study of their magnetic properties says the answer is yes. Scientists from SLAC, Stanford and Diamond Light Source found important similarities but also subtle differences between the two.

Scientists See Energy Gap Modulations in a Cuprate Superconductor
Scientists studying high-Tc superconductors at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have definitive evidence for the existence of a state of matter known as a pair density wave–first predicted by theorists some 50 years ago. Their results show that this phase coexists with superconductivity in a well-known bismuth-based copper-oxide superconductor.
Making High-Temperature Superconductivity Disappear to Understand Its Origin
Purely electronic interactions could be behind copper-oxygen compounds conducting electricity without resistance at relatively high temperatures.
Theoretical Study Points to Jade-Like Materials as Quantum Spin Liquids
Materials that can host this exotic liquid-like magnetic state could be harnessed for next-generation energy and computing applications.
