AI Summary

Scientists report that an ultrathin nickelate film exhibits a superconducting gap that does not follow the expected behavior for conventional superconductors. The study shows the material transitions to zero resistance at a critical temperature, but the size and temperature dependence of the gap differ from standard models. The findings suggest that the nickelate’s superconductivity may involve unconventional mechanisms.
