A sudden release of pressure allowed a copper-based compound to superconduct at the highest temperature yet for atmospheric ...

Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

If you’re someone who loves an internet hype cycle, good news: There’s a new group of scientists who claim to have discovered a near-room-temperature superconductor. Yes, again. People on X (formerly ...

A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...
