Professor Nigel Goldenfeld (right) and his graduate student Minhui Zhu pose outside the Institute for Genomic Biology on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Campus. Goldenfeld and Zhu elucidated the experimental observations using a theory borrowed from the field of soft condensed matter, establishing that charge order stripe formation in cuprate superconductors adhere to a universal scaling law, akin to pattern formation in liquids and polymers.
