A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...

With pulses of sound through tiny speakers, Cornell physics researchers have clarified the basic nature of a new superconductor. Since it was found to be a superconductor about five years ago, uranium ...

For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that a material's superconductivity can be altered by coupling it to an ...

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 flow without energy ...

An international team of researchers has shown that superconductivity can be modified by coupling a superconductor to a dark electromagnetic cavity. The research opens the door to the control of a ...

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

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The ...

New evidence suggests a rare triplet superconductor may help quantum computers stay in sync by preserving electron spin ...

Scientists no longer need to rely solely on guesswork or complex, expensive experiments—they can visualize the “electron highways” in silico and focus on the most promising candidates. If Liu’s vision ...
