Researchers have confirmed that the spinel compound CuIr2S4, long studied for its unusual metal-insulator transition, becomes ...

A decades-old superconducting mystery just took a surprising turn. Strontium ruthenate, a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures, has long puzzled scientists with ...

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 ...

Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to flow without energy ...

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

A cluster of recent experiments and theoretical studies has produced the strongest evidence yet that spin-triplet superconductivity can be reliably generated and controlled at material interfaces, a ...

Scientists no longer need to rely solely on guesswork or complex, expensive experiments—they can visualize the “electron highways” in silico and focus on the most promising candidates. If Liu’s vision ...
