Cooper pairs found surviving above superconducting critical temperature
Original: Cooper pairs found above superconducting critical temperature in pair density waves
Physicists report detecting Cooper pairs persisting above the superconducting critical temperature within pair density waves, a phase previously thought to exist only below the threshold where resistance vanishes. The finding, covered by Phys.org, suggests superconducting correlations can survive into a regime where they do not produce zero resistance, sharpening debates over how unconventional superconductors like cuprates behave near their transition point.
Why now: The discovery challenges the standard view that Cooper pairs only exist below the critical temperature, a significant development in condensed matter physics.
