Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails the ability to conduct electricity ...

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

For many years, researchers believed that superconductors could only exist at very low temperatures, a few degrees above ...

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 former “D” student from Norway, he made his mark at G.E.’s Research Lab in the U.S., in part by confirming a pivotal theory ...

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… ...

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 ...

The phenomenon, dubbed “inter-dimensional superconductivity” by the researchers who discovered it, might make it easier to fabricate 2D materials for electronics applications. Superconductors are ...

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).

Superconductivity means zero wasted electricity; perfectly conducted energy. Typically it's been made using either super high pressure or extremely low temperatures. This makes it inefficient and ...

Superconductivity is the weird phenomenon of zero electrical resistance that occurs when some materials are cooled below a critical temperature. The best superconductors have to be cooled with ...
