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 ...

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).

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 ...

This article reports on research described in a paper in Nature. This paper has since been retracted by the journal. Superconductivity has been observed at temperatures up to 15 °C in a hydrogen-rich ...

No superconductivity in nickelates? It's hydrogen's fault Date: April 27, 2020 Source: Vienna University of Technology Summary: Last summer, it was discovered that there are promising ...

The history of superconductivity is littered with dubious claims of high-temperature activity that later turn out to be impossible to reproduce. Indeed, physicists have a name for this: USOs, or ...
