U of I physicists observe exotic state in an unconventional superconductor | Engineering at Illinois: "Budukian's group investigated strontium ruthenium oxide (SRO), an unconventional superconductor discovered by a Japanese group that has been proposed as the solid-state analog of the A-phase of superfluid helium-3. Using state-of-the-art nanofabrication methods and exquisitely sensitive cantilever-based magnetometry techniques developed by the group, the researchers observed minute fluctuations in the magnetism of tiny rings of SRO.�"
