Experimental evidence for a collective insulating state in   two-dimensional superconductors
  We present the results of an experimental study of the current-voltage characteristics in strong magnetic field ($B$) of disordered, superconducting, thin-films of amorphous Indium-Oxide. As the $B$ strength is increased superconductivity degrades, until a critical field ($B_c$) where the system is forced into an insulating state. We show that the differential conductance measured in the insulating phase vanishes abruptly below a well-defined temperature, resulting in a clear threshold for conduction. Our results indicate that a new collective state emerges in two-dimensional superconductors at high $B$.
