Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in nickelate superconductors, it is an open question how closely the superconducting state resembles that of cuprate superconductors. One salient feature of the phase diagram of the high-temperature cuprate superconductors is stripe order. Despite their prevalence, real-space imaging has been limited to the charge sector. Here we use spin-polarised scanning tunnelling microscopy to visualize the local magnetic and charge distribution emerging due to a stripe order in the trilayer nickelate La₄Ni₃O₁₀. The stripe order exhibits a four unit cell periodicity, closely resembling that seen in cuprates, and opens a near-complete ∼66meV gap at the Fermi level. Crucially, discrete phase slips can be triggered by tunneling electrons above a ∼ 20meV threshold, allowing imaging of stripe dynamics at the atomic scale. These results highlight the importance of correlation physics driving stripe-like orders in lanthanum nickelates with striking similarities to the cuprates.
