However, superconductivity generally requires very low temperatures, so low they may become impractical, and the exact ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous physical phenomenon observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance ...

Inspired by superconductivity, a strange new theory that seeks to explain dark matter might explain dark energy, too ...

Dias and colleagues entered the high-temperature superconductivity game in 2020. Using his experience squeezing hydrogen to high pressure (see box below), Dias’s group published a paper on ...

A recent study has uncovered a distinct disorder-driven superconductor-insulator transition. This first electric control of superconductivity and quantum Hall effect in a candidate material for ...

The behavior of electrons and the exact fundamentals underlying the phenomenon we call ‘electricity’ are still the subject of many competing theories and heated debates. This is most ap… ...

So achieving superconductivity at room temperature (about 293 K, or 20 °C) would be a “remarkable phenomenon”, says Peter Armitage, a condensed-matter researcher at Johns Hopkins University ...

Researchers Made a Superconductivity Breakthrough. Take a Look at How They Achieved It. Superconductors have the potential to transform power grids, medical imaging and even nuclear fusion ...

High-temperature superconductivity is one of the holy grails of physics. It also seems to attract a steady stream of controversy, with a recent string of retracted papers and provocative claims ...

While superconductivity is a wondrous ability, physics nerfs it with the cold caveat. Most known materials’ critical temperatures are barely above absolute zero (-459 degrees Fahrenheit).

Report: Superconductivity researcher found to have committed misconduct Details of what the University of Rochester investigation found are not available.

Experts doubt claims that LK-99 is a room-temperature superconductor set to open up a future of levitating trains and quantum tech. Andrew McCalip wants to see for himself.
