Superconductivity is a quantum state of matter characterized by an electrical resistance of zero and the expulsion of ...

A cluster of recent experiments and theoretical studies has produced the strongest evidence yet that spin-triplet superconductivity can be reliably generated and controlled at material interfaces, a ...

Superconductivity and magnetism have long been treated as rivals in condensed matter physics, one thriving on perfect electrical order, the other on internal magnetic chaos. Now researchers at MIT ...

When two-dimensional electron systems are subjected to magnetic fields at low temperatures, they can exhibit interesting states of matter, such as fractional quantum Hall liquids. These are exotic ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

A new study in Nature describes both the mechanism and the material conditions necessary for superfluorescence at high temperature. A new study in Nature describes both the mechanism and the material ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...

Tuning electron interactions in iron telluride selenide controls superconducting and topological phases, offering a pathway to more stable quantum computing. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at West ...

Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Using an ...

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care about, the stuff that doesn’t require exotic refrigeration to work. Instead, ...
