Scientists Show their Stripes

Caption

Showing their stripes: Brookhaven Lab physicists present new evidence that stripes--alternating areas of charge and magnetism in certain copper-oxide materials--are good for forming the charge-carrier pairs needed for electrical current to flow with no resistance. Left to right: Qiang Li, Genda Gu, John Tranquada, Alexei Tsvelik, and Yangmu Li in front of an image of wind-blown ripples in desert sand.
