Thirty years after the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates, many details of the pairs remain unknown, including their size and shape. Here we apply brand new ARPES-based methods that allow us to reconstruct the shape and size of the pairs in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+{\\delta}}$. The pairs are seen to form a characteristic starfish shape that is very long (>50{\\AA}) in the near-nodal direction but extremely short (~4.5{\\AA}) in the antinodal (Cu-O) direction. We find that this ul"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1809.02194","kind":"arxiv","version":2},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
