For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with ...

A team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden now reports a new way to improve that outlook by designing a material that supports superconductivity at higher temperatures while also standing ...

Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Superconductivity is the ability to transmit energy without any resistance when an object is cooled to a certain temperature.

A sudden release of pressure allowed a copper-based compound to superconduct at the highest temperature yet for atmospheric ...

In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying ...

MIT scientists have coaxed atoms into an exotic “edge state” for the first time, allowing them to flow completely friction-free. The breakthrough could lead to better superconductor materials. As ...

The British-American theoretical physicist Anthony Leggett died on 8 March at the age of 87. Leggett shared the 2003 Nobel ...
