The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous property observed in some materials, which entails the ability to conduct electricity without resistance below specific critical temperatures. One particularly ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life, but even the most efficient power lines lose energy along the way. For decades, scientists have searched for materials that could carry electric current ...

The theoretical prediction of superconductors, particularly the high temperature ones, remains elusive as it is commonly believed that the existing superconductivity theory is applicable only to low ...

Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology believe they may have observed ...

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 ...
