New evidence to aid search for charge 'stripes' in superconductors ( DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory ) Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory used an indirect method to detect fluctuating "stripes" of charge density in a material closely related to a superconductor. The research identifies a key signature to look for in superconductors as scientists seek ways to better understand and engineer these materials for future energy-saving applications.
