Superconductors carry electricity without resistance, but figuring out how their electrons pair up can be difficult. That pairing pattern matters: it can help scientists understand a material’s behavior and identify unusual forms of superconductivity. In a new study, researchers, including MSE professor, Dr. Petro Maksymovych, used computer simulations to examine a technique called tunneling Andreev […]
