An international team led by researchers at MPI-CPfS used irradiation with extremely high-energy electrons to controllably introduce atomic defects in superconducting nickelate thin films. Their ...

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 ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

Researchers from the USA and India have proposed that Floquet Majorana fermions may improve quantum computing by controlling superconducting currents, potentially reducing errors and increasing ...

Why do cold thin sheets of carbon offer no resistance to electric currents? Two experiments are bringing us closer to an answer – and maybe even to practical room-temperature superconductors. Kin ...

“In the past year, the university completed a fair and thorough investigation—conducted by a panel of nationally and internationally known physicists—into data reliability concerns within several ...

He shared the 1972 physics prize for showing how some materials could convey electricity without resistance. He also did pioneering research in neuroscience. By Dylan Loeb McClain Leon N. Cooper, a ...

Brief blasts of light might make some materials into fleeting superconductors. A new study strengthens the case for this controversial claim, first made more than a decade ago. But while some ...

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 ...

The pursuit of room-temperature superconductivity has long been a holy grail in the field of condensed matter physics because it could revolutionize all electricity based technologies and in ...

We’ve been following the saga of Ranga Dias since he first burst onto the scene with reports of a high-pressure, room-temperature superconductor, published in Nature in 2020. Even as that paper was ...
