Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature ...

Superconductors are like the express trains in a metro system. Any electricity that "boards" a superconducting material can zip through it without stopping and losing energy along the way. As such, ...

You may recognize graphite as the "lead" in a pencil, but besides helping you take notes or fill in countless bubbles on exam ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...

PtBi2 looks like an ordinary grey crystal, but a new study shows its electrons move in unusual ways not seen in other materials. In 2024 (Nature, "Evidence of superconducting Fermi arcs"), the ...

MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG). The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres ...

According to the traditional theory proposed by pioneers Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer (BCS), conventional superconductivity occurs when a material's resistance drops to zero after being ...

Findings could open route to new forms of higher-temperature superconductors. (Nanowerk News) Superconductors are like the express trains in a metro system. Any electricity that “boards” a ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A multi-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material ...

Physicists use a new platform to measure magic-angle graphene’s superconducting gap. The method involves “tunneling” electrons between two layers of magic-angle twisted tri-layer graphene (in yellow) ...
