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

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

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

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

An elusive "demon" particle has been observed inside a superconductor nearly 70 years after it was first predicted. Its discovery could help resolve the mystery of how superconductors work. Pines' ...

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 place for everything and everything in its place"—making sense of order, or disorder, helps us understand nature. Animals tend to fit nicely into categories: Mammals, birds, reptiles, whatever an ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

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

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 ...

Physicists have observed the mysterious "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations inside a bizarre superconducting material. The discovery, made in an atom-thin layer of the semimetallic compound ...
