Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

(THE CONVERSATION) – Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures required to make them work are costly and difficult to implement.
