An international collaboration of researchers at universities in the US and Paris has cracked the mechanism and conditions ...

A research study led by Oxford University has developed a powerful new technique for finding the next generation of materials ...

A study in Nature describes both the mechanism and the material conditions necessary for superfluorescence at room ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at ...

However, researchers at MIT have discovered that both these contradictory properties live side by side in a rare form of ...

In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon.

Dias' lab was focused on high-pressure superconductivity. At extreme pressures, the orbitals where electrons hang out get distorted, which can alter the chemistry and electronic properties of ...

Now, an experiment years in the making has directly visualized superconductivity on the atomic scale in one of these crystals, finally revealing the cause of the phenomenon to nearly everyone’s ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Update (November 9, 2023): This week the journal Nature retracted ...

Researchers from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, report that they have discovered high-temperature superconductivity in trilayer single crystals of nickel-oxide materials under high pressure.

Superconductors can conduct electric currents with perfect efficiency. However, these materials typically need to be extremely cooled, to around minus 320 degrees Fahrenheit, and subject to high ...

Ranga Dias, a physics professor who made headlines with claims that he had discovered a room-temperature superconductor and then was found to have engaged in research misconduct, is no longer ...
