Physicists have long suspected that a peculiar quantum state lurks inside a class of materials known as kagome metals, but ...

Magnetic fields are generally known to destroy superconductivity in a material. However, in exceptional cases, they can lead ...

A clever nanoscale redesign may have solved one of superconductivity’s biggest problems. Researchers in Sweden discovered ...

Discovered in 2019, the material known as nickelates has intrigued researchers for its potential to become a superconductor at elevated temperatures—a property that could significantly advance such ...

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry ...

US scientists have shed light on the physics behind diamond’s superconductivity, which could help ...

One of the forefront fields of modern superconductivity research is that on hydrides at high pressures. Over the past few years, this research has attracted considerable publicity, of which a ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care about, the stuff that doesn’t require exotic refrigeration to work. Instead, ...

Researchers report an uncanny resemblance between the superconductivity of magic graphene and that of high temperature superconductors. Magic graphene may hold the key to unlocking new mechanisms of ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...
