The race is to find superconductivity that is on a high wave number. The standard BCS theory is S-wave, and the curates for high-Tc back in the 80s worked with P-wave (dipolar) Cooper pairing. Current work is with D-wave (quadrupolar) local entanglement of electrons in Cooper pairs. I am going to be submitting a paper on how an emergent form of supersymmetry, yes SUSY of the sort usually thought of with particle physics, can give rise to F-wave Cooper-pairing.
