BUFFALO, N.Y. — Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to ...

The finding could help future efforts to design superconductors that work at higher temperatures. For the past century since their discovery, superconductors and their mysterious atomic properties ...

Electron movement and structures described in quantum physics allow researchers to better understand how and why materials like superconductors behave as they do. Rice University researchers Jianwei ...

A team of more than 30 physicists and materials scientists published a detailed strategy for reaching room-temperature superconductivity, identifying the most promising material families, the biggest ...

An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

NbRe may be a long-sought triplet superconductor, offering zero-resistance spin transport and major advances in quantum computing.

In their design, a superconductor layer sits between two ferromagnets whose magnetizations can be set parallel or antiparallel. For ordinary singlet pairing, the antiparallel alignment usually reduces ...

This illustration shows how superconductivity from vanadium (yellow) is transformed at the magnesium oxide barrier (green), enabling iron (blue) to form same-spin electron pairs and participate in ...
