A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...

Exotic superconducting states could exist in a wider range of materials than previously thought, according to a theoretical ...

A new study published in Physical Review Letters reports on the development of the fabrication of superconducting materials under low pressure. The study builds on past work from the same team of ...

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 State have found a new ...

Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially ...

Currently, extreme cold is required to achieve superconductivity, as shown in this artist's concept of a magnet floating above a superconductor cooled with liquid nitrogen. Physicists have uncovered a ...
