The pseudogap is an elusive state that is believed to play an important role in the mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity. A torque-magnetometry study of YBCO reveals that its onset is associated with a second-order nematic transition.
A long-standing controversial issue in the quest to understand the superconductivity in cuprates is...
