For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an ...

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

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

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

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 newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

U.S. Scientists have achieved superconductivity at a record temperature under ambient pressure for the first time since 1911.

A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...

Columbia University researchers have proven that quantum fluctuations from a vacuum can modify nearby materials ...

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 ...

Superconductivity is an effect in which a material’s electrical resistance vanishes and any magnetic field is expelled below a transition temperature. Despite the remarkable phenomenology, this ...
