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

Magnetic-superconducting hybrid systems are key to unlocking topological superconductivity, a state that could host Majorana ...

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 ...

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 ...

The odd superconductivity found in layered graphene may bring us closer to understanding room-temperature superconductors By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan 5 February 2025 ...

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 ...

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).

Physicists have struggled with superconductivity since it was first observed in 1911. The Dutch scientist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and collaborators cooled a mercury wire to about 4 kelvins (that is ...

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

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 ...
