ITHACA, New York, Feb. 1 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Christopher Parzyck had done everything right.
Parzyck, Ph.D. '23, a postdoctoral researcher, had brought his nickelate samples - a newly discovered family of superconductors - to a synchrotron beamline for x-ray scattering experiments. He was measuring his samples, which he'd synthesized with a new method, in the hope of detecting the suspected presence of "charge ordering" - a phenomen . . .
