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 ...

What is a superconductor, and how does it work? Do room-temperature superconductors really break physics? Read on to find out. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

An elusive "demon" particle has been observed inside a superconductor nearly 70 years after it was first predicted. Its discovery could help resolve the mystery of how superconductors work. Pines' ...

A team of scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has provided new data and analysis on infinite-layer nickelates. This ...

Twist a stack of atom-thin carbon sheets by just the right amount and the material stops behaving like ordinary metal or insulator. Instead, it starts acting like a peculiar kind of superconductor ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that. When you purchase through ...

We started out being skeptical, but cautiously optimistic. Then, the bad news just kept rolling in. Claims of a room temperature and ambient pressure superconductor have torn the scientific community ...
