A multi-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially ...

In a ground-breaking experiment, scientists from the University of Groningen, together with colleagues from the Dutch universities of Nijmegen and Twente and the Harbin Institute of Technology (China) ...

In late July, a preprint paper written by scientists from the relatively unknown Quantum Energy Research Centre claimed to have created a material that was a superconductor at room temperature and ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. “The variety of electronic ...

Imagine riding a levitating train at speeds of 14,000 miles per hour — cutting the trip from New York to Los Angeles to just 20 minutes. A team of South Korean researchers say the science fiction ...

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize ...

As another person who knows next to nothing about materials science, why isn't superconductivity tested for by just measuring the resistance when running a current through the material, rather than ...

Communication using terahertz (∼10 12 Hz) electromagnetic waves is critical for developing sixth-generation wireless network infrastructures. Conflictions between stable radiation and frequency ...

South Korean researchers claim to have developed "LK-99," a superconductor that operates at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure, a significant departure from previous superconductors ...

Useful quantum computers containing thousands of qubits will require extensive electronics for qubit control and readout. These electronics will generate heat and thermal noise, which prevents ...

If LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-changer for everything from quantum computing and medical imaging to energy and transportation. But there are a lot of red flags. If LK-99 is the real ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...
