An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

Quantum physicists have shown that it's possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alternative to ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

Winding a thin tape of superconducting material tightly enough can form a powerful magnet the size of a wristwatch. This could enable the creation of more sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance devices ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

Last month, a team of researchers claimed they’d essentially found the holy grail in the field of physics: a superconductor that can operate at ambient pressures and room temperatures. That’s a huge ...

Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

Scientists in South Korea have claimed to have made one of the "holy grails" of physics: a superconductor at room temperatures and pressures. Now, researchers around the world are racing to replicate ...

South Korean scientists claim to have made a superconductor, LK-99, that works at room temperature. Experts are skeptical, but if such a material exists, it could boost energy production and storage.
