Magnetism destroys superconductivity.
Physicists take that premise as gospel. But according to a 1986 theory initially considered outlandish, superconductivity should reappear in a material if it is oriented precisely in line with a very high magnetic field. New experiments conducted by University at Buffalo physicists have demonstrated the strongest evidence yet for this strange and extremely promising phenomenon, called reentrant superconductivity. The results may constitute the best demonstration so far of an extremely rare type of interaction between electrons in a superconductor. This type of interaction, called p-wave spin, has only been seen once before in nature, and its discoverers were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
