Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...
Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...
A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...
The combination of rare earth materials and cryogenic temperatures could be the key to transforming power infrastructures in ...
Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...
An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...
New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...
Magnetic levitation is just one of the interesting attributes that make superconductors so interesting. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library vie Getty Images The modern world runs on electricity, and ...
Microsoft’s growing interest in high-temperature superconductor (HTS) technology for data center applications raises a question that the tech industry has mostly avoided: can materials originally ...
Microsoft is researching and prototyping the implementation of high-temperature superconductors that could make data centers ...
The future of electronics will be based on novel kinds of materials. Sometimes, however, the naturally occurring topology of atoms makes it difficult for new physical effects to be created. To tackle ...
Kim, Harvard, and his fellow researchers have a promising candidate for the world’s first high-temperature, superconducting diode—essentially, a switch that makes current flow in one direction—made ...
