Once upon a time, making a superconductor required extremely cold temperatures. Scientists understood why superconducting materials could move electrons without loss, but the super cold temperatures ...
Magnetic levitation is just one of the interesting attributes that make superconductors so interesting. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library vie Getty Images The modern world runs on electricity, and ...
Diamond anvils can make superconductors at or near room temperature in the lab. Now a path to useful room-temperature superconductors has been briefly shown using 10 THz lasers. A few watts of ...
A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.
A typical 3D configuration in the superconducting vortex phase in the (hyper)magnetic field background of about 150 exatesla. The equipotential surfaces of the superconducting W condensate are shown ...
Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality ...
Scientists have yet to find a superconductor that works at room temperature—and that’s a big problem
But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...
While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...
Magnesium diboride ceramic superconductors have garnered interest owing to their ease of fabrication, light weight, and low cost. However, a cheap and efficient technique for boron refinement is ...
It’s been a fun few weeks. The internet — and more than a few scientists — got their hopes up a couple weeks ago when a team of physicists from South Korea announced that they had created a ...

US scientists make Josephson junction using only one superconductor instead of two
Researchers at the University of Buffalo teamed up with those in Spain, France, and China to demonstrate that a Josephson ...
Unless you're attempting to make superconductors at home, this discussion should be had in The Observatory where there is already discussion about it. That said, If you are trying that out, pictures ...
