Every metal has an underlying Fermi surface that gives rise to quantum oscillations. So far, quantum oscillation measurements in the superconductor YBCO have been inconclusive owing to the structural complexities of the material. Quantum oscillations in a Hg-based cuprate—with a much simpler structure—help to establish the origin and universality of the oscillations.
