A paper in Nature reports the discovery of a superconductor that operates at room temperatures and near-room pressures. The claim has divided the research community. In a packed talk on Tuesday ...

Scientists may have spotted a long-sought triplet superconductor — a material that can transmit both electricity and electron spin with zero resistance. That ability could dramatically stabilize ...

A Nature retraction last week has put to rest the latest claim of room-temperature superconductivity — in which researchers said they had made a material that could conduct electricity without ...

If LK-99 is the real deal, it could be a game-changer for everything from quantum computing and medical imaging to energy and transportation. But there are a lot of red flags. If LK-99 is the real ...

Superconductors allow for us to develop very sensitive devices, which can pick up signals which are minute, which would otherwise not be possible to pick up. And they can be applied from anywhere, in ...
