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 ...

In their quest to explore and characterize high-temperature superconductors, physicists have mostly focused on a material that is not the absolute highest. That's because that crystal is much easier ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...
