Superconductivity and Magnetism Have a Delicate Balance

Using a new tool, Cornell University researchers deliberately created atomic-level disorder in order to probe the workings of heavy fermion compounds. They found that, rather than hindering superconductivity, magnetism was an essential ingredient -- and if controlled, may be a key for future advances in the field.
