New research sharpens understanding of the hidden symmetry in a mysterious superconductor. Superconductors are materials that ...

For over a century, scientists have sought a holy grail of materials: a room-temperature superconductor, a material that can carry electrical charges without resistance, which would revolutionize the ...

Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The ...

Scientists link quantum theory with superconductivity, offering a way to predict materials that could enable resistance-free power at higher temperatures. (Nanowerk News) Electricity flows through ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

Scientists have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — 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 ...

An interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers in engineering, physics and chemistry recently created the first self-assembling superconductor. The news of this development came when Science ...

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled to a certain temperature, called the critical temperature. They have applications in many fields, including ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...
