Muon study clarifies superconducting behavior in strontium ruthenate

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 17, 2026 Quantum materials and superconductors are inherently complex, and unconventional superconductors pose an even greater challenge because they fall outside standard theoretical descriptions. One prominent example is the layered perovskite strontium ruthenate, Sr2RuO4 (SRO214), whose superconducting properties were first identified by a team including Yoshiteru Maeno, now at the Toyota Riken
