With pulses of sound through tiny speakers, Cornell physics researchers have clarified the basic nature of a new superconductor. Since it was found to be a superconductor about five years ago, uranium ...

For three decades, one quiet crystal has sat at the center of a fierce argument about how exotic superconductors really work.

Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model.

Researchers have devised a new technique to create and control a class of high-temperature superconductors, offering potential for unprecedented forms of superconductivity. The method involves precise ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

Chinese researchers are making variations of LK99 room temperature superconductor materials with more sulfur and copper in the chemistry. They are publishing results with stronger magnetic indications ...

Diamagnetism is a property of matter, superconductivity is a state of matter. Diamagnetism describes how a material reacts when plunged into a magnetic field. Paramagnetism is almost the same thing.

China is operating a facility, backed by astronomical funding, to discover new superconductors. By creating an environment to test superconductors under extreme temperatures and pressures, it aims to ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...
