First study of nickelate magnetism finds close kinship with cuprates

Caption

The first measurements of magnetic excitations rippling through a nickelate superconductor show it's closely related to cuprate superconductors, which conduct electricity with no loss at relatively warm temperatures. The study by researchers at SLAC, Stanford and Diamond Light Source revealed important similarities and subtle differences between the two materials.
