Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum ...

A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
