Since the initial discovery of superconductivity in iron-pnictide compounds, iron-based materials have been the focus of intense research owing to their unconventional pairing mechanisms, multi-band ...

A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties, has all the components required for a unique type of superconductivity that could provide the basis for more robust quantum ...

LK-99 is the name of the material that is being hotly debated around the world these days: A Korean research group published results at the end of July 2023 on the preprint server arXiv suggesting ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy the other. Yet in the past year, experiments in two very different ...

Superconductors are entering a new era as scientists explore smarter ways to build energy-efficient electronics. A tiny ...

The material is a nitrogen-doped lutetium hydride (NDLH), and it demonstrates superconductivity at a balmy 20.9 °C (69.5 °F) at 145,000 psi of pressure. The latter figure may sound high, but it’s ...

Superconductivity in graphene-based systems arises from a delicate interplay of reduced dimensionality, enhanced electron–electron interactions and the engineering of electronic band structures.

Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance whatsoever, commonly requiring extremely low temperatures. They are used in a wide range of domains, from medical applications to a central ...
