Contribution

It introduces the idea that two networks of stripes with shape resonances are fundamental to superconductivity, advancing the debate on the role of stripes in high-temperature superconductors.

Findings

Two networks of stripes are involved in superconductivity.

Shape resonances are key to understanding the mechanism.

A new consensus on stripe networks is emerging.

Abstract

The significance of stripes in certain high-temperature superconductors has been hotly debated for decades. Now a consensus is emerging that there may, in fact, be two networks of different stripes in which shape resonances play a key role in the superconductivity.
