Nickelates and cuprates: close kin or distant neighbors? (IMAGE)
Caption
The first measurements of magnetic excitations rippling through a nickelate superconductor show it has a strong kinship with cuprate superconductors, like the one at left, as opposed to the more distant neighborly relationship depicted at right. The study by researchers at SLAC, Stanford and Diamond Light Source revealed important similarities and subtle differences between the two materials, which conduct electricity with no loss at relatively warm temperatures.
