Hope springs eternal. For decades, there have been claims that researchers have created room-temperature superconductors. The materials promise to conduct an electric current with zero resistance ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which perfectly conduct electricity — have long beguiled and tantalized physicists. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, ...

It’s been a fun few weeks. The internet — and more than a few scientists — got their hopes up a couple weeks ago when a team of physicists from South Korea announced that they had created a ...

Theoretical physicists reveal that room-temperature superconductivity is possible within the laws of our Universe, linked to fundamental constants like electron mass and Planck constant. Discovery ...

Scientists have long pursued the holy grail of superconductivity at room temperature, a breakthrough that promises to revolutionize technology and energy industries. Recent developments suggest that ...
