A new experiment shows how adjacent regions affect each other in superconductors, and suggests ways that the materials could be improved by controlling their nanoscopic structures.

Advances in the control of vibrations in membrane structures have become pivotal in numerous engineering applications, particularly in aerospace, telecommunications and flexible robotics.
