A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

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 ...

Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Room-temperature superconductors would revolutionize nearly every technology on Earth, but the path ...

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 State have found a new ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...

A UB-led experiment confirms that ferromagent iron found a way to sync with the superconducting metal vanadium.

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 ...

Christopher Parzyck had done everything right. Parzyck, a postdoctoral researcher, had brought his nickelate samples—a newly discovered family of superconductors—to a synchrotron beamline for X-ray ...
