3 Many roads lead to superconductivity
( Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres ) In cooperation with an international research group, researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin have now discovered a magnetic signature that occurs universally among all iron-based superconductors, even if the parent compounds from which the superconductors are made possess different chemical properties. Their findings are published in Nature ... Source: EurekAlert!

5 LiXEdrom: Innovative measuring chamber for X-ray study of liquid jets
( Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres ) At Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, Emad Aziz, head of a junior research group, has shown that liquids can be investigated by X-ray emission spectroscopy without using membranes after all. At the synchrotron source BESSY II, the group has built a special setup -- the LiXEdrom. It is unique in that the liquid is shot as a jet through the X-ray beam. Source: EurekAlert!

9 Many roads lead to superconductivity
Since their discovery in 2008, a new class of superconductors has precipitated a flood of research the world over. Unlike the previously familiar copper ceramics (cuprates), the basic structure of this new class consists of iron compounds. Because the structure of these compounds differs from the cuprates in many fundamental ways, there is hope of gaining new insights into how the phenomenon of ... Source: PhysOrg
