Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain ...

(THE CONVERSATION) – Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures required to make them work are costly and difficult to implement.

Digital information is usually encoded by controlling the flow of charge carriers, such as electrons, through materials. But a special type of electronics, called spintronics, uses electrons’ spin — ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

In a superconductor, an electric current can exist forever. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A superconductor is a material that ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...

If LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-changer for everything from quantum computing and medical imaging to energy and transportation. But there are a lot of red flags. If LK-99 is the real ...

Stacks of graphene, carefully twisted, gain a superpower: They become superconductors. Now scientists have new evidence that this “magic-angle” graphene is a member of a truly strange class of ...
