Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Tohoku University and Fujitsu Limited have successfully used AI to derive new insights into the superconductivity mechanism ...

Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...

In the beginning, superconductivity was known only in a few metals at temperatures just above absolute zero at minus 273 degrees Celsius. Then, in the 1980s, physicists discovered a new class, based ...

David D. Nolte receives funding from the National Science Foundation. On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook ...

A static electric field can be used to manipulate the superconducting state of metallic superconducting thin films, according to new experiments by researchers in Italy. The effect, which was first ...
