Abstract: An explanation of high-temperature superconductivity in the copper oxides has been more elusive than for conventional superconductivity -- in which crystal lattice vibrations help bind electrons into pairs. The search for a different type of pairing mechanism for the copper oxides is revealing that an excitation of the electrons themselves may provide the glue.
