Seems kind of less interesting at this point.
Okay, let's do this.
This was really fascinating.
So scientists, is that the first word I use for all of my talk?
Scientists or researchers have for the first time, guys, directly imaged a new layer of the process that allows superconductivity to happen.
So how do they do this?
And why do I keep reading about ballroom dancing metaphors to describe it?
Because of Cooper-Pairs?
Uh...
Maybe.
That's a good guess.
Researchers include an interesting mix of experimental physicists and theoretical physicists.
The former is from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Paris, CNRS.
The latter is Simone Foundation's Flatiron Institute.
So, okay, the name of the paper, the paper was published in Physical Review Letters just recently, this April 2026.
The name of the paper got some jargon in here, observing spatial charge and spin correlations in a strongly interacting Fermi gas.
It's much more interesting than it sounds.
So, all right, superconductivity.
We've mentioned this many times on the show, and I think most everyone is comfortable with what's going on with superconductivity at a university.
you know, at a high level, electricity flowing without resistance.
