Detection of a Cooper-pair density wave in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x
The quantum condensate of Cooper pairs forming a superconductor was originally conceived as being translationally invariant. In theory, however, pairs can exist with finite momentum Q, thus generating a state with a spatially modulated Cooper-pair density. Such a state has been created in ultracold 6Li gas but never observed directly in any superconductor. It is now widely hypothesized that the pseudogap phase of the...

Super Thursday: LIGO schedules the big reveal about its gravitational wave quest
It looks as if scientists have chosen Thursday as the day to announce a potentially Nobel Prize-winning discovery: the first detection of gravitational waves, a century after they were predicted by Albert Einstein. After months of rumors, simultaneous events...
VR games Audioshield, Hover Junkers lead latest wave of HTC Vive stunners
SEATTLE, Washington—How many times can a publication attend a virtual reality showcase and walk away stunned by something it's never seen before? Judging by the past few years of Ars' VR explorations, quite a few.
As such, we don't blame readers who might say, "Tap the VR brakes, Ars." Still, this week's SteamVR Developer Showcase event is forcing us to reach into the hyperbole bag...
Reports: Tableau and Wave leases kick off big new real estate project in Kirkland, Wash.
Offices leases by Tableau Software and broadband company Wave will jump-start a large new real estate development in Kirkland, Wash., according to reports by the Puget Sound Business Journal and Seattle Times, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the deal. It’s part of a...
