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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

With his bold claims of revolutionary room-temperature superconductors, physicist Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in New York propelled the field of high-pressure physics into the spotlight.

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 ...

For three decades, one quiet crystal has sat at the center of a fierce argument about how exotic superconductors really work. Now a new set of experiments has upended the favored explanation, forcing ...

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 ...

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 ...
