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 sudden release of pressure allowed a copper-based compound to superconduct at the highest temperature yet for atmospheric ...

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

Researchers have systematically charted a superconducting dome in thin films of strontium-doped lanthanum nickelate, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Physicists hunting for new superconductors often look for a very specific shape hidden in ...

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 ...

Scientists found Pine’s Demon, a massless, neutral plasmon, in strontium ruthenate, offering insights into high-temperature ...

Columbia University researchers have proven that quantum fluctuations from a vacuum can modify nearby materials ...

Superconductivity is an effect in which a material’s electrical resistance vanishes and any magnetic field is expelled below a transition temperature. Despite the remarkable phenomenology, this ...
