RESEARCH ON 'HOLES' MAY UNEARTH CAUSES OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, October 27

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have uncovered another possible clue to the causes of high-temperature superconductivity, a phenomenon in which the electrical resistance of a material disappears below a certain temperature.

In a superconducting compound, they found evidence of a rarely seen arrangement of "holes" - locations where electrons are absent. The results appear in the October 28, 2004, issue of Nature.
