The study, carried out by CSIC scientists, lays the foundations for understanding the mechanisms of certain unconventional superconducting materials

26-May-2023

A study led by researchers from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) has managed to explain the essential aspects of superconductivity (the ability of certain materials to conduct electric current without energy loss) in spun graphene trilayers, which are achieved by ...

Is the “age of palladates" now dawning in superconductivity research?

26-Apr-2023

A Goldilocks material that might be just right: the precious metal palladium could be used to make superconductors that remain superconducting even at relatively high temperatures, show calculations by TU Wien. It is one of the most exciting races in modern physics: How can we produce the best ...

Researchers gain deeper understanding of mechanism behind superconductors

19-Jan-2023

Physicists at Leipzig University have once again gained a deeper understanding of the mechanism behind superconductors. This brings the research group led by Professor Jürgen Haase one step closer to their goal of developing the foundations for a theory for superconductors that would allow ...

Surprising findings refute a hypothesis that has played a central role in research into superconducting materials up to now

24-Nov-2022

All superconductors known today that are used in research and industry are superconducting only below 150 degrees Kelvin (around minus 120 degrees Celsius). Materials that have this property at higher temperatures are therefore being sought worldwide. Based on theoretical modeling, hydrides have ...

Scientists discover anomalous emission of terahertz radiation from copper oxides in which superconductivity coexists with charge-stripe order

27-Sep-2022

Why do some materials carry electrical currents without any resistance only when cooled to near absolute zero while others do so at comparatively high temperatures? This key question continues to vex scientists studying the phenomenon of superconductivity. Now a team of researchers from Andrea ...

Titanium breaks record of Tc for element superconductors

21-Sep-2022

Element superconductors are important either for superconducting mechanism studies or for potential applications because of the single composition. However element superconductor (SC) usually show very low transition temperature (Tc) typically below 10K. Recently Prof. Changqing Jin’s team at ...

Promising material graphene

18-Aug-2022

Superconductors are the key to lossless current flow. However, the realization of superconducting diodes has only recently become an important topic of fundamental research. An international research team involving the theoretical physicist Mathias Scheurer from the University of Innsbruck have ...

Newly published research builds on team’s landmark 2020 discovery of a room-temperature superconductor by replicating results with even greater efficiency

08-Aug-2022

Less than two years after shocking the science world with the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity, a team of UNLV physicists has upped the ante once again by reproducing the feat at the lowest pressure ever recorded. In other words, science is closer than ...

Waves of magnetic excitation sweep through this exciting new material whether it’s in superconducting mode or not

03-Aug-2022

Electrons find each other repulsive. Nothing personal – it’s just that their negative charges repel each other. So getting them to pair up and travel together, like they do in superconducting materials, requires a little nudge. In old-school superconductors, which were discovered in 1911 and ...
