A University of California (UC) Riverside research team, led by physicist Peng Wei, has developed a two-dimensional interface superconductor by combining trigonal tellurium and gold. This new material ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

Researchers report that a material (hexagonal HP-BaCoO3) made under high-pressure (6 GPa, 1200 °C) and was tested at ambient-pressure. The material (with a 2H crystal structure) has a short intrachain ...

Superconductors sit at the heart of some of the most ambitious technologies on the horizon, from lossless power grids to practical quantum computers, yet finding new ones has long been a slow, ...

A multi-institutional team of scientists has developed a new superconductor material that could potentially be used in quantum computing and be a candidate 'topological superconductor.' A ...

A UB-led experiment confirms that ferromagent iron found a way to sync with the superconducting metal vanadium.

Christopher Parzyck had done everything right. Parzyck, a postdoctoral researcher, had brought his nickelate samples—a newly discovered family of superconductors—to a synchrotron beamline for X-ray ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A multi-institutional team of scientists in the United States, led by physicist Peng Wei at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new superconductor material ...
