The past few weeks have seen a huge surge of interest among scientists and the public in a material called LK-99 after it was claimed to be a superconductor at room temperature and ambient pressure.

Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The ...

As part of the Quantum Science Center headquartered at ORNL, Robert Moore probes the interface between a topological insulator and a superconductor with spin- and angle-resolved photoemission ...

A Majorana fermion is a particle that would be identical to its antiparticle. Such an object has not yet been found. However, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The quantum behavior of superconducting circuits like the small white square above was a major discovery. K. Cicak and R. Simmonds ...

Hybrid materials made of magnets and superconductors give rise to fascinating quantum phenomena, which are so sensitive that it is crucial to measure them with minimal interference. Researchers at the ...

Researchers have discovered an unusual "quantum echo" in superconducting materials, dubbed the Higgs echo. This phenomenon arises from the interplay between Higgs modes and quasiparticles, producing ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to fully ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to ...
