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 ...

A researcher has introduced a new theory for superconductivity that can better explain the results of recent experiments with high-temperature superconductors. By focusing on the 'Berry connection,' ...

The behavior of electrons and the exact fundamentals underlying the phenomenon we call ‘electricity’ are still the subject of many competing theories and heated debates. This is most apparent in the ...

LK-99 suspended over a magnet. Briefly an internet sensation, LK-99 turned out not to be a room-temperature superconductor. UC Davis physicist Inna Vishik explored the hype and reality of ...

Rice's Andriy Nevidomskyy is part of a team that has mapped and explained a puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields. Traditionally, scientists have regarded ...

Hyun-Tak Kim is one of the lead researchers for the LK99 team. This new paper presents a specific critical temperature for PCPOSOS, demonstrating consistency with the original authors’ data. NOTE: The ...

Double-dome superconductivity in twisted graphene In a new study published in Nature Physics, a team led by Mitali Banerjee at EPFL, together with partners in Switzerland, the U.K., and Japan, has ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom-thin insulator that can be easily switched into a superconductor. The research promises ...

Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, steered very thin conductors from superconductivity to insulation—creating an "impossible," strange state between the two mutually ...
