For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an ...

Physicists have demonstrated that a slab of hexagonal boron nitride, acting as a built-in infrared light cavity, can suppress superconductivity in an adjacent organic material without any external ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

Physicists in China have unveiled new clues to the origins of high-temperature superconductivity in an iron-based material just a single unit-cell thick. Led by Qi-Kun Xue and Lili Wang at Tsinghua ...

A newly mapped form of superconductivity in uranium ditelluride emerges only under extremely strong magnetic fields, defying long-held expectations about how superconductors behave.

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy the other. Yet in the past year, experiments in two very different ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...
