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

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

For over a century, scientists have sought a holy grail of materials: a room-temperature superconductor, a material that can carry electrical charges without resistance, which would revolutionize the ...

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 ...

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

(CREDIT: Superconductor Science and Technology) That makes the method both powerful and practical. As Liu explained, it offers “a superhighway just for electrons.” If the map shows continuous, ...

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 ...

Scientists link quantum theory with superconductivity, offering a way to predict materials that could enable resistance-free power at higher temperatures. (Nanowerk News) Electricity flows through ...

Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The ...

An interdisciplinary team of Cornell researchers in engineering, physics and chemistry recently created the first self-assembling superconductor. The news of this development came when Science ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn ...
