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

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

What is a superconductor, and how does it work? Do room-temperature superconductors really break physics? Read on to find out. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...

Japan’s Maglev Shinkansen trains, which have achieved record speeds of up to 361 miles per hour, literally float above their tracks, thanks to powerful superconductors, which scientists believe may ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...
