Vortices in superconductors have so far been considered a disruption, as they can impair the superconducting properties.

Diamond is extremely valuable to science and technology not for its sparkle but for its extreme hardness, high thermal ...

Scientists have found a key process required for superconductivity occurring at higher temperatures than previously thought. It could be a small but significant step in the search for one of the "holy ...

Researchers just witnessed a superconductor behavior that defies our current understanding of physics. At a certain electron density, quantum fluctuations—the phenomena that make superconductors stop ...

Researchers studying the link between strange metals and superconductivity have made a breakthrough towards answering a long standing question in condensed-matter physics Strange metals are highly ...
