Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...

New research in Chinese Physics Letters investigates the phenomena of superconductivity and charge density waves in a monolayer material grown on a graphene substrate. Study: Charge Density Wave and ...

We’ve been told all of our lives to avoid stress – but in physics, stress might just be the key to unlocking the secret of superconductivity. Superconductivity, the phenomenon in which the electrical ...

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 ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which perfectly conduct electricity — have long beguiled and tantalized physicists. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing superconductivity at room temperature could enable advanced, ...

A new compound superconducts at room temperature—and almost 300 gigapascals of pressure. Most superconductors must be extremely cold, which limits applications. The scientists believe they can change ...
