Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to ...

Superconductivity, which entails an electrical resistance of zero at very low temperatures, is a highly desirable and thus widely studied quantum phenomenon. Typically, this state is known to arise ...

Superconductors excel at, you guessed it, conducting electricity — these materials help a current flow without any resistance, a critical feature for powerful tech such as MRI machines and levitating ...

The scientific and technological community is abuzz with the unveiling of a new room-temperature superconductor. This pivotal discovery holds the potential to revolutionize a myriad of industries, ...

American Superconductor Corporation delivers megawatt-scale power resiliency solutions, enhancing grid performance and Navy fleet protection while supporting renewable energy cost reduction. AMSC ...

Scientists have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional ...

Editor’s note: On November 7, 2023, Nature retracted the March 8 study described in this article after researchers raised questions about its claims of creating a superconductor that works at both ...

Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat demonstrates that while PtBi₂ may look like ...

If LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-changer for everything from quantum computing and medical imaging to energy and transportation. But there are a lot of red flags. If LK-99 is the real ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

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 ...
