This image schematically shows the measurement principle. A flake of an atomically thin superconductor (shown in purple) on a substrate is patterned into a disk and covered by a spin-coated ionic gel. The pickup loop of the magnetic probe (shown in silver), with a concentric field coil (shown in dark gray) is approached to the sample. A current in the field coil produces a magnetic field, which results in an opposing screening current in the superconducting sample. The strength of the screening current is

This composite image shows where the selenium atoms reside in the crystal of niobium diselenide, a transition metal dichalcogenide, using conventional scanned tunneling microscopy (left, in grey) and where the electron pairs are observed using scanned Josephson tunneling microscopy (right, in blue).
