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 ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

Superconductivity is well understood in so-called "conventional" superconductors. More recent, however, are unconventional superconductors, and it is as yet unclear how they work. "Uranium ditelluride ...

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology believe they may have observed ...

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

The study, led by materials scientist Zi-Kui Liu and published in Superconductor Science and Technology, introduces a concept that connects two long-standing camps of superconductivity research: ...

The discovery provides new confirmation that the material, composed of three stacked and twisted atom-thin carbon sheets, is a unique type of superconductor. This finding is a crucial step in the ...

Scientists have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional ...

A research team from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), discovered a new superconducting material called (InSe2)xNbSe2, which possesses a unique lattice ...

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 ...

Graphic representation of a microstructured sample (red) for electrical measurements on unconventional superconductors. Gold and platinum are used for contacting. Electrons (green spheres) couple in ...
