Yale Unveils Nematic Superconductor Breakthrough

Yale physicist Eduardo H. da Silva Neto and his team have cracked the superconductivity code by linking it to electronic nematicity in iron selenide-sulfur compounds. Published in Nature Physics, their STM experiments at sub-500 mK revealed a superconducting gap, steering clear of magnetic hassles. Supported by the NSF, researchers Pranab Kumar Nag and Kirsty Scott foresee this 2024 discovery powering next-gen grids and MRI tech. Who knew breaking symmetry could conduct such brilliance?
