Abstract
High temperature superconductivity in cuprates remains a defining challenge in condensed matter physics. Recently, a new set of related compounds based on Ir rather than Cu has been discovered that may be on the verge of superconductivity themselves or be able to shed new light on the underlying interactions responsible for superconductivity in the cuprates.

High temperature superconductivity in cuprates remains a defining challenge in condensed matter physics
To understand the varied magnetic and electronic properties of 3d transition metal oxides (TMOs), we routinely invoke a separability among charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom, tightly coupled yet distinct sectors that can be identified, measured, and understood individually
Something interesting happens on the way down the periodic table—relativistic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) grows progressively stronger, blurring the lines among these spin, charge, and orbital sectors
