In the quest for room-temperature superconductivity, international physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and the ...

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 ...

When cooled to its superconducting state, niobium blocks the radiative flow of heat 20 times better than when in its metallic ...

Hitting a material with laser light can produce a flash of superconductivity -- the ability to carry electric current with no loss -- and may offer a path toward room-temperature conductivity. Much ...

Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that. When you purchase through ...

Topological superconductors are materials that, beyond simply exhibiting superconductivity, possess a topological order. This order refers to the global properties of the material's wavefunctions that ...

NUS physicists have realised superconductivity in lanthanide nickel-oxide, answering a theoretical prediction made about three decades ago. This enables a new way to achieve and understand ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
