Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

A team of more than 30 physicists and materials scientists published a detailed strategy for reaching room-temperature superconductivity, identifying the most promising material families, the biggest ...

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

Physicists have demonstrated that a slab of hexagonal boron nitride, acting as a built-in infrared light cavity, can suppress superconductivity in an adjacent organic material without any external ...

With pulses of sound through tiny speakers, Cornell physics researchers have clarified the basic nature of a new superconductor. Since it was found to be a superconductor about five years ago, uranium ...

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 ...

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 ...
