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

For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an ...

A discovery by physicists is unlocking a new understanding of magnetism and electronic interactions in cutting-edge materials, potentially revolutionizing technology fields such as quantum computing ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

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 ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Ultrathin superconducting wires can withstand stronger magnetic fields than larger wires made from the same material, researchers now report. This finding may be useful for ...

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 ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

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 ...
