Electrical noise may reveal whether electrons pair in superconductors

Electrical noise may reveal whether electrons pair in superconductors

Physicists used electrical noise to study superconductors.

Their approach focuses on whether electrons in these materials have paired up.

Electrical noise can reveal if electron pairing has occurred.

Electron pairing is central to understanding superconductivity, though the source gives no further details about the mystery being investigated.

The method offers a way to probe a key question about how superconductors work.

The source does not say what the physicists found or what they plan to do next.
