Once upon a time, making a superconductor required extremely cold temperatures. Scientists understood why superconducting materials could move electrons without loss, but the super cold temperatures ...

Magnetic levitation is just one of the interesting attributes that make superconductors so interesting. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library vie Getty Images The modern world runs on electricity, and ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

Diamond anvils can make superconductors at or near room temperature in the lab. Now a path to useful room-temperature superconductors has been briefly shown using 10 THz lasers. A few watts of ...

A typical 3D configuration in the superconducting vortex phase in the (hyper)magnetic field background of about 150 exatesla. The equipotential surfaces of the superconducting W condensate are shown ...

Researchers at the University of Buffalo teamed up with those in Spain, France, and China to demonstrate that a Josephson ...

Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

Unless you're attempting to make superconductors at home, this discussion should be had in The Observatory where there is already discussion about it. That said, If you are trying that out, pictures ...
