Abstract: Superconductivity: unlikely pairs In most superconductors, the pairing-up of electrons responsible for resistance-free conductivity is driven by vibrations of the solid's crystal lattice. But there are other superconducting materials in which the 'glue' responsible for binding electrons is thought to have a very different origin: quantum fluctuations of spin or charge. An unusually 'violent' generalization of such a pairing mechanisms, in which spin and charge instabilities combine forces, has been identified in the unconventional superconductor CeRhIn5. These intimately coupled fluctuations significantly disrupt the flow of electrons in their normal unpaired state, yet also provide the quantum-mechanical glue necessary for generating superconducting pairs.
