Strongly interacting quantum particles are key to some of the most fascinating phenomena in modern physics—from magnetism and ...

Physicists have long suspected that a peculiar quantum state lurks inside a class of materials known as kagome metals, but ...

Magnetic fields are generally known to destroy superconductivity in a material. However, in exceptional cases, they can lead ...

For more than 30 years, one number stood as a stubborn barrier in superconductivity ...

A clever nanoscale redesign may have solved one of superconductivity’s biggest problems. Researchers in Sweden discovered ...

If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...

US scientists have shed light on the physics behind diamond’s superconductivity, which could help ...

Transparent superconductors—materials that exhibit both zero electrical resistance and high optical transmittance—offer a compelling platform for integrating quantum computation and photonics 1,2. In ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care about, the stuff that doesn’t require exotic refrigeration to work. Instead, ...
