A new superconductor material could greatly improve the reliability of quantum computers, scientists say. The electrical resistance of materials typically decreases as they are cooled. But some ...

This new understanding of the world’s oldest superconductor though a material-by-design approach was only possible thanks to high-throughput computations, he adds. Such computations are capable of ...

This effect of superconductivity is known for more than hundred years and is well understood for so-called conventional superconductors. More recent, however, are unconventional superconductors ...

In conventional superconductors, such as most Type I superconductors, the superconductivity is explained by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. According to BCS theory, electrons in a ...

Conventional yet high temperature The strange thing about hydrogen sulphide is that – unlike other high-temperature superconductors – it does not also exist in a magnetic state, and therefore more ...

The zero d.c. and low transient-frequency resistances of superconductors mean that they offer a promising alternative to the lossy conventional metals, such as gold and silver, that are normally ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered the atomic mechanism behind high-temperature superconductors, a finding that could be revolutionary for super-efficient electrical power. In a ...

Conventional superconductors operate only at extremely low temperatures, but certain iron-based materials discovered roughly a decade ago can superconduct at relatively high temperatures and have ...

(Nanowerk News) Weak fluctuations in superconductivity, a precursor phenomenon to superconductivity, have been successfully detected by a research group of Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech).

Superconductors escape Flatland Iron-based materials allow 3-D current flow at high temperatures, open new doors for understanding superconductivity ...
