More Details: The recent discovery of Ising superconductivity has garnered a lot of interest due in part to the resilience of these superconductors to large in-plane magnetic fields. In this Perspective we explain the basic concepts that define the behavior of Ising superconductors, provide an overview of the electronic structure and magnetic properties with a focus on NbSe$_2$, summarize key experimental observations that have been made in this class of superconductors, highlight the role that defects and proximity-induced effects at interfaces have on Ising superconductivity and finally discuss the prospects for observing Ising superconductivity in bulk materials.
