Uncovering the interplay between two famous quantum effects
The Casimir force and superconductivity are two well-known quantum effects. These phenomena have been thoroughly studied separately, but what happens when these effects are...
A record-breaking hydrogen-rich superconductor
A new hydrogen-rich compound may be a record-breaking superconductor
The material appears to transmit electricity without resistance at a relatively high temperature
Superconductors are heating up,...
Physicists uncover why nanomaterial loses superconductivity
The struggle to keep drinks cold during the summer is a lesson in classical phase transitions. To study phase transitions, apply heat to a...
Increase battery life of electronic devices by more than a hundred-fold
Among the chief complaints about a smartphone, laptop and other battery-operated electronics users are that the battery life is too short and—in some cases—that...
A different spin on superconductivity—Unusual particle interactions open up new possibilities...
When you plug in an appliance or flip on a light switch, electricity seems to flow instantly through wires in the wall. But in...
