These patterns and symmetries have important consequences for superconductivity they can compete, coexist or possibly even enhance superconductivity.
The patterns seem to be a key characteristic to this family of materials.
The task now is to understand how nematicity relates to a phenomenon known as charge density wave fluctuations.
That ends up being a tremendously challenging problem and a Nobel Prize-worthy problem.
If somebody was able to come up with a theory for this problem, that is a Nobel Prize.
The research has beenpublished inScience.
