Superconductivity's halo: Theoretical physicist helps map rare high-field phase

A puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields has been mapped and explained by a research team including Andriy Nevidomskyy, professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University. Their findings, published in Science, detail how uranium ditelluride (UTe2) develops a superconducting halo under strong magnetic fields.
