#Superconductivity

A superconducting material studied for 40 years has turned out to be far more complex than scientists believed. Advanced 3D imaging revealed a hidden patchwork of crystal structures, with unusually wide boundaries that may weaken superconductivity.…

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way to control superconductivity — the mysterious phenomenon where electricity flows with zero energy loss.…

Scientists at the University of Houston have shattered a long-standing superconductivity record, creating a material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at the highest temperature ever achieved under normal pressure conditions.…

In a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors. Instead of behaving independently, the pairs moved in a synchronized, dance-like pattern—something never predicted before.…

A strange new kind of superconductivity has been uncovered in uranium ditelluride (UTe2), where electricity flows with zero resistance—but only under extremely strong magnetic fields that should normally destroy it.…

Antiferromagnetism is caused by excess iron The post Stoichiometric iron telluride is a superconductor: magnetic mystery is solved appeared first on Physics World.

Could a new pressure quenching technique help researchers move forward on the road to reaching room-temperature superconductivity?

A collective mode of electrons predicted to exist in high-temperature superconductors, but difficult to observe in experiments has been identified by physicists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

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.

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity.
