Disorder localizes electrons, which is usually detrimental to the onset of superconductivity. Here, Petrović et al. report a disorder-enhanced superconducting instability in quasi-one dimensional Na2-dMo6Se6and suggest that this effect may originate from an intrinsically screened Coulomb repulsion.
