University of Minnesota leads team in discovery of novel type of magnetic wave : UMNews : University of Minnesota: "A team of international researchers led by physicists in the University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering have made a significant breakthrough in an effort to understand the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity in complex copper-oxides...

In their experiments, the researchers bombarded the copper-oxide crystals with intense beams of neutrons. The neutrons themselves are magnetic, and by carefully measuring how these particles are scattered from the crystals, the research team was able to show the existence of unusual magnetic waves involving oxygen atoms."
