First report of superconductivity in a nickel oxide material

First report of superconductivity in a nickel oxide material: Scientists at SLAC and Stanford have made the first nickel oxide material that shows clear signs of superconductivity - the ability to transmit electrical current with no loss. The first in a potential new family of unconventional superconductors, its similarity to the cuprates raises hopes that it can be made to superconduct at relatively high temperatures. But it's also different in key ways that could overturn theories of how these puzzling materials work.
