In the quest for room-temperature superconductivity, international physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and the ...

Brian Maple is a Distinguished Professor and holds the Bernd T. Matthias Endowed Chair in Physics at the University of California San Diego. He is also an alumnus who earned his doctorate in 1969, ...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry ...

The quest for room-temperature superconductivity has just taken a major step forward. A team of physicists has discovered ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

Researchers used cutting-edge X-ray techniques to gain new insights into 'infinite-layer' nickelate materials. So-called "infinite-layer" nickelate materials, characterized by their unique crystal and ...

While superconductivity is literally the superpower of those electrons. They can travel this time freely without being inhibited by other electrons or defects and so on. So once you get the ball ...

Rice's Andriy Nevidomskyy is part of a team that has mapped and explained a puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields. Traditionally, scientists have regarded ...
