(author), Cava, R.J. (author) Bi2Se3 is one of a handful of known topological insulators. Here we show that copper intercalation in the van der Waals gaps between the Bi2Se3 layers, yielding an electron concentration of ?2×1020??cm-3, results in superconductivity at 3.8 K in CuxBi2Se3 for 0.12?x?0.15. This demonstrates that Cooper pairing is possible in Bi2Se3 at accessible...
