Story summary

Researchers Yasha Gindikin and Alex Kamenev from the University of Minnesota have uncovered a groundbreaking spin-orbit-coupling effect called pair spin-orbit interaction (PSOI). This phenomenon could pave the way for unconventional superconductivity in specific materials, particularly in Rashba systems, where odd parity pairing emerges in ultrapure samples at low temperatures.
