The search for the theory of high-T c superconductivity is wide open. Still, there is strong evidence that the pairing mechanism is predominantly electronic, that some kind of quantum spin ...

In a new paper, scientists uncovered a new state called Cooper-pair density modulation that could teach us a lot about ...

As La 3 Ni 2 O 7 exhibits strange metal behavior, the mechanism underlying its superconductivity should be drastically different from that described by the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory ...

The discovery of iron-based pnictide superconductors may have reinvigorated the field of high-temperature superconductivity, but the cuprate superconductors are still in the game. Although the ...

And with [Ben]’s help, you can make some too. Superconductors that can work at the relatively high temperature of liquid nitrogen instead of ultracold liquid helium are pretty easy to come by ...

in a universe where TC is only millionths of a degree higher than absolute zero, we may never have detected superconductivity at all. However, a super-high TC would mean electrical resistance ...

Engineers have designed and synthesized a groundbreaking new material -- a copper-free superconducting oxide -- capable of superconducting at approximately 40 Kelvin, or about minus 233 degrees ...
