Illustration

A muon, center, spins like a top within the atomic lattice of a thin film of superconducting nickelate.

A brightly colored top is seen spinning between two layers of gray, purple and red spheres representing atoms in a nickel oxide superconductor. The top represents a fundamental particle called a muon.
