Physicists have uncovered a link between magnetism and a mysterious phase of matter called the pseudogap, which appears in ...

Scientists have uncovered hidden magnetic order inside the pseudogap, bringing us closer to engineering high-temperature superconductors.

The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...

Materials called cubic rare earth hydrides could be superconductors in everyday conditions. New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists meet one of ...

A new fusion of materials, each with special electrical properties, has all the components required for a unique type of superconductivity that could provide the basis for more robust quantum ...

Superconductivity is a state in which a material can conduct electricity without resistance. Normally, when electricity flows through a wire, some of it is lost as heat due to resistance. This is why ...

On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook: “near enough null.” The note referred to the electrical resistance ...

Rice's Andriy Nevidomskyy is part of a team that has mapped and explained a puzzling form of superconductivity that arises only under strong magnetic fields. Traditionally, scientists have regarded ...
