LK99 is the proposed room temperature superconductor and IF it is confirmed as a superconductor then it will likely be a new class of superconductor. It is different than the previously known type 1 ...

Magnets and superconductors go together like oil and water—or so scientists have thought. But a new finding by MIT physicists is challenging this century-old assumption. In a paper appearing in the ...

A research team from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), discovered a new superconducting material called (InSe2)xNbSe2, which possesses a unique lattice ...

The future of electronics will be based on novel kinds of materials. Sometimes, however, the naturally occurring topology of atoms makes it difficult for new physical effects to be created. To tackle ...

The material PtBi₂ (lower metallic block) has a superconducting top surface (blue). Where the electrons in this surface pair up, indicated by the height of the blue wave, they move without resistance.

Type-II superconductors, distinguished by their ability to admit magnetic flux in quantised vortices, exhibit a rich tapestry of magnetic behaviours in the so-called mixed state. Below the lower ...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with a resistance of zero. In so-called conventional superconductors, this occurs at low temperatures when electrons become bound into pairs, ...

With his bold claims of revolutionary room-temperature superconductors, physicist Ranga Dias of the University of Rochester in New York propelled the field of high-pressure physics into the spotlight.
