Exotic pairing of charge carriers seen in a quantum simulation

A phenomenon known as unconventional superconductivity allows electric current to flow without resistance at unusually high temperatures, but the necessary pairing of charge carriers is poorly understood in modern physics. Using an optical microscope, an experimental demonstration of such a pairing has been achieved in a simple system.
