A University of Arizona physicist has discovered that powerful magnetic fields change the physical nature of superconductivity. UA Associate Professor of Physics Andrei Lebed has discovered that strong magnetism changes the basic, intrinsic properties of electrons flowing through superconductors, establishing an "exotic" superconductivity. "Understanding the physical nature of the electron pairs that define superconductors is one of the most important problems in condensed matter physics," Lebed said. He published the research earlier this year in Physical Review Letters. He said the work is one of his most important contributions to physics in his 20-year career.
This is a really awesome article on Magnetism, I do recommend reading it if you have the time.
