This device is known as a Josephson junction. It’s the foundational building block of quantum computers and advances of it ...

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

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

For the first time, researchers in China have demonstrated a high-temperature superconducting diode effect, which allows a supercurrent to flow in both directions. Published in Nature Physics, the ...

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 ...
