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 ...

Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

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 ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

Scientists have identified materials capable of allowing electrical current to flow with almost perfect efficiency, wasting no energy as heat. The breakthrough could revolutionize superconductivity ...

A South Korean research team has proposed a new perspective for interpreting the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity, a long-standing puzzle in the physics community. As a single theory ...

The Dark Forest theory is one proposed solution to the famed Fermi Paradox, which has bewitched astronomers for more than half a century. To put it concisely, the paradox asks if the cosmos is nearly ...
