Superconductivity is the ability to transmit energy without any resistance when an object is cooled to a certain temperature.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

The main researchers working on LK99-like room temperature and room pressure superconductors are in China and South Korea. There have been reports that the China researchers have successfully ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat demonstrates that while PtBi₂ may look like ...
