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

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 ...

Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity—a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to flow without energy ...

Findings could open route to new forms of higher-temperature superconductors. (Nanowerk News) Superconductors are like the express trains in a metro system. Any electricity that “boards” a ...

Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...

The main researchers working on LK99-like room temperature and room pressure superconductors are in China and South Korea. There have been reports that the China researchers have successfully ...

Discovery of two-band superconductivity in the intercalated rhombohedral ZrNCl system, which was supported by the upper critical field and reversible magnetization experiments. “Professor Yoshihiro ...

A new study has uncovered important behavior in the flow of electric current through quantum superconductors, potentially advancing the development of future technologies like quantum computing. A new ...

Seven years after the unexpected discovery of superconductivity in iron-based compounds, the study of these “surprise” superconductors is maturing. Hideo Aoki and the discoverer of the first ...

Michael Fuhrer receives funding from the Australian Research Council. The past few weeks have seen a huge surge of interest among scientists and the public in a material called LK-99 after it was ...
