The search continues for nickel oxide-based materials with electronic properties similar to cuprate high-temperature superconductors 1 – 10 . The recent discovery of superconductivity in the doped infinite-layer nickelate NdNiO 2 (refs. 11 , 12 ) has strengthened these efforts. Here, we use X-ray sp...
