Could Charge Stripes Be a Key to Superconductivity?
Article Abstract:
Professor Takashi Imai and his students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, along with other researchers in the field, have verified that ceramic superconductors convey their currents in a series of extremely small stripes. However, the verification of the stripe pattern does not provide the final answer as to how the material works as a superconductor.

Cuprates fall into a gap
Article Abstract:
Electron photoemission experiments provide details of the energy gap in the normal state of the bismuth-strontium-calcium cuprate compound. The results may support the theory that pair formation in singlet spins occurs before the onset of superconductivity.
