Scientists have achieved superconductivity at higher temperatures without extreme pressure, bringing new energy technologies one step closer.

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 ...

A decades-old superconducting mystery just took a surprising turn. Strontium ruthenate, a material that conducts electricity with zero resistance at low temperatures, has long puzzled scientists with ...

A team of scientists led by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has identified a rare, ...

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, ...
