Physicists have discovered a mechanism for the formation of oscillating superconductivity, or pair-density waves, in certain high-temperature superconductors. The study, led by Luiz Santos from Emory University, found that structures known as Van Hove singularities can produce these oscillating states. This discovery provides a new theoretical framework for understanding this unconventional superconductive state, potentially paving the way for more efficient electricity transfer and revolutionizing how electricity is used.
