Scientists have observed an unexpected new behavior in a superconducting material. If physicists can figure out the cause, it could help them to find room-temperature superconductors. When you ...

LK99 is the material that South Korean researchers claimed in early 2023 was a room temperature superconductor. The South Korean Researcher will be reporting new work in two months (March 4, 2024) at ...

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.

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn't a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a key process required for superconductivity occurring at higher temperatures than previously thought. It could be a small but significant step in the search for one of the "holy ...
