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 ...

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 ...

High-temperature superconductor magnets have the potential to lower the costs of operating particle accelerators and enable powerful new technologies like fusion reactors. But quenches -- the sudden, ...

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 ...

Ezio Todesco charts the future of high-field dipole magnets – a technology set to advance the boundaries of high-energy physics and the societal applications of superconductivity.

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

One of the Korean researchers working on room temperature superconductors shows a sample with some possible magnetic locking effects. The phenomenon occurred when he found and cut out a part of the ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

China achieves a superconducting magnet of 35.6 teslas, 700,000 times stronger than Earth's magnetic field, setting a world record.

Despite the headline, this isn’t really a story about superconductivity—at least not the superconductivity that people care ...

The original team of South Korean LK99 Room Temperature and atmospheric pressure superconductors researchers will have a short 12 minute presentation at the American Physical Society conference. The ...

An experimental board containing a superconducting tape-shaped HTS material called Bi-2223 and a controlled heater is used to test the thermal runaway-based concept of magnet protection. Credit: ...
