This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

Researchers at the University of Buffalo teamed up with those in Spain, France, and China to demonstrate that a Josephson ...

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 ...

Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to ...

Researchers have devised a new technique to create and control a class of high-temperature superconductors, offering potential for unprecedented forms of superconductivity. The method involves precise ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

A Nature retraction last week has put to rest the latest claim of room-temperature superconductivity — in which researchers said they had made a material that could conduct electricity without ...

Last week, a group of South Korean physicists made a startling claim. In two papers uploaded to the arXiv preprint server, they say they have created a material that “opens a new era for humankind”.
