superconductivity

A new atomic-scale experiment all but settles the origin of the strong form of superconductivity seen in cuprate crystals, confirming a 35-year-old theory.

In exploring a family of two-dimensional crystals, a husband-and-wife team is uncovering a potent variety of new electron behaviors.

Superconductivity has been discovered in graphene devices without any twists, suggesting the form of superconductivity in the material might be mundane after all.

An unexpected superconductor was beginning to look like a fluke, but a new theory and a second discovery have revealed that emergent quasiparticles may be behind the effect.

Featuring paradoxical black holes, room-temperature superconductors and a new escape from the prison of time.

In 2020, researchers reported that they had created a room-temperature superconductor. That paper has now been retracted.

Researchers have shown how to effectively transform one material into another using a finely shaped laser pulse.

A new theoretical model may help explain the shocking onset of superconductivity in stacked, twisted carbon sheets.

The stunning emergence of a new type of superconductivity with the mere twist of a carbon sheet has left physicists giddy, and its discoverer nearly overwhelmed.
