In a breakthrough experiment, scientists directly imaged how particles pair up in a system that mimics superconductors.

Researchers have uncovered new evidence that superconductivity can be steered by a material’s surroundings, opening a potential path toward electronics that waste far less energy. Instead of changing ...

A new scenario for superconductivity is revealed, whereby applying pressure to the Kondo ferromagnet Ce5CoGe2 first induces a ...

A strange new kind of superconductivity has been uncovered in uranium ditelluride (UTe2), where electricity flows with zero resistance—but only under extremely strong magnetic fields that should ...

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 ...

Room-temperature superconductivity would be a massive scientific breakthrough, allowing for advances like efficient power grids that can transmit electricity without losses, high-speed, ...

A small environmental tweak can disrupt conventional behaviour, hinting that superconductivity may depend less on materials ...

Superconductivity, or the idea that certain materials are capable of conducting direct current (DC) electricity without resistance or energy loss, has been an elusive phenomenon for well over a ...

Superconductivity is an effect in which a material’s electrical resistance vanishes and any magnetic field is expelled below a transition temperature. Despite the remarkable phenomenology, this ...
