Every once in a while, we all need a good reminder that electromagnetism is mind-boggling. Thankfully, in its latest video, the YouTube channel The Action Lab offers a stellar nod to the force of ...

Quantum physicists have shown that it's possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alternative to ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

Magnetic levitation systems harness the unique properties of high-temperature superconductors and permanent magnets to achieve frictionless, contactless motion. The core principle underpinning these ...

Some researchers in Korea have made an extraordinary claim that they’ve developed a superconductor that works at room temperature and pressure. It’s getting a lot of attention — and skepticism. A room ...

An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

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

Superconductivity already has a variety of practical applications, such as medical imaging and levitating transportation like the ever-popular maglev systems. However, to ensure that the benefits of ...

In a superconductor, an electric current can exist forever. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A superconductor is a material that ...

Superconductors are interesting things, though we don’t really rely on them for much in our day to day lives. They’d be supremely useful, if only they didn’t need to be so darned cold. While the ...
