Supraledare är en hörnsten i bland annat kvantdatorer och partikeldetektorer. Ett vanligt problem är dock att effektiviteten försämras av olika störningar. Nu har forskare vid bland annat naturvetenskapliga fakulteten genom högprecisionsmätningar kommit ett steg närmare en förklaring till vad det är som händer. Supraledning är beroende av närvaron av elektroner bundna i så kallade Cooper-par. Två
