Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly ...

A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology believe they may have observed ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain ...

Microsoft is exploring high-temperature superconductors to cut transmission losses, boost capacity and rethink power delivery ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn ...
