Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect ...

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 ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...

Superconductive materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, but typically only at very low temperatures. Realizing superconductivity at room temperature could enable advanced, ...

Coherent crystalline interfaces Atomic-resolution image of a superconducting germanium:gallium (Ge:Ga) trilayer with alternating Ge:Ga and silicon layers demonstrating precise control of atomic ...

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 ...

Three years ago, physicists discovered that two stacked sheets of carbon with a tiny, 1.1-degree twist between them could exhibit a dazzling array of behaviors. Most famously, when cooled to low ...

Two years ago, a new class of promising superconductors was discovered: so-called layered nickelates. For the first time a theoretical model is now available that can be used to understand the ...
