New research sharpens understanding of the hidden symmetry in a mysterious superconductor. Superconductors are materials that ...

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

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

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

Researchers at the University of Buffalo teamed up with those in Spain, France, and China to demonstrate that a Josephson ...

Initially regarded as a scientific curiosity upon its discovery in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, superconductivity has provided physicists with numerous theoretical challenges and experimental ...

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

First discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Onnes in the early 20th century, superconductivity is a rare phenomenon observed in metallic materials where its resistance to electrons flow was lost at ...

Superconductivity occurs when electrons in a metal pair up and move through the material without resistance. But there may be more to the story than we thought, as scientists in Germany have now ...

Basic research into the electrical and thermal properties of metallic, magnetic and organic materials is leading to the discovery of novel superconductors. Research into superconductivity is enjoying ...
