Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...

A decades-old superconducting mystery just took a surprising turn. Strontium ruthenate, a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures, has long puzzled scientists with ...

Scientists have achieved superconductivity at higher temperatures without extreme pressure, bringing new energy technologies ...

A new technique has enabled a superconductor to surpass a 33-year-old temperature record, achieving -122 °C at room pressure.

For over a century, scientists have sought a holy grail of materials: a room-temperature superconductor, a material that can carry electrical charges without resistance, which would revolutionize the ...

We started out being skeptical, but cautiously optimistic. Then, the bad news just kept rolling in. Claims of a room temperature and ambient pressure superconductor have torn the scientific community ...

To have been alive over the last five decades is to have seen superconductors progress from only possible at near-absolute-zero temperatures, to around the temperature of liquid nitrogen in the 1980s ...
