For three decades, one quiet crystal has sat at the center of a fierce argument about how exotic superconductors really work.

In July, some scientists claimed to find a superconductor that would work at room temperature and ambient pressure. Such a finding would be groundbreaking, but experts are skeptical about the research ...

Superconductors that work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero have befuddled scientists since they were discovered. A new theory might be about to change that. When you purchase through ...

David D. Nolte receives funding from the National Science Foundation. On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook ...
