Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that ...

If quantum computing is going to become an every-day reality, we need better superconducting thin films, the hardware that enables storage and processing of quantum information. Too often, these thin ...

Highly precise spectroscopy exposes a sixth-order nodal gap on PtBi 2 ’s Fermi arcs, confirming a long theorized topological superconducting phase. Study: Topological nodal i-wave superconductivity in ...

At low enough temperatures, certain metals lose their electrical resistance and they conduct electricity without loss. This effect of superconductivity is known for more than hundred years and is well ...

Crystal structure In the new high-Tc superconductor, lanthanum and scandium atoms constitute the MgB 2-type sublattice, while the surrounding hydrogen atoms form two types of cage-like configurations.

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

Why do cold thin sheets of carbon offer no resistance to electric currents? Two experiments are bringing us closer to an answer – and maybe even to practical room-temperature superconductors. Kin ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances ...

Ranga Dias, a physics professor who made headlines with claims that he had discovered a room-temperature superconductor and then was found to have engaged in research misconduct, is no longer employed ...

“In the past year, the university completed a fair and thorough investigation—conducted by a panel of nationally and internationally known physicists—into data reliability concerns within several ...
