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

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled to a certain temperature, called the critical temperature. They have applications in many fields, including ...

Dr Leon N Cooper: discovered that electrons in a superconductor are grouped in pairs, now called Cooper pairs, - Bettmann Leon Cooper, who has died aged 94, shared the 1972 Nobel Prize in Physics with ...

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

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

A Nature retraction last week has put to rest the latest claim of room-temperature superconductivity — in which researchers said they had made a material that could conduct electricity without ...

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 ...

MIT researchers observed clear signatures of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG). The image illustrates pairs of superconducting electrons (yellow spheres ...

The quest for materials capable of combining semiconductor properties with superconductivity represents a major challenge for modern electronics. These hybrid materials could pave the way for more ...

The MIT physicists reported that they had discovered new key evidence of unconventional superconductivity in “magic-angle” twisted tri-layer graphene (MATTG), a material created by stacking three ...
