The pseudogap persists as material superconducts
For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to unravel the many mysteries of superconductivity, where materials conduct electricity with zero resistance. view more (2009-01-27)
Superconductivity: Which one of these is not like the other?
Superconductivity appears to rely on very different mechanisms in two varieties of iron-based superconductors. view more (2009-07-13)
UT-ORNL researchers take step toward understanding superconductivity
A research group at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory led by physics professor Pengcheng Dai, along with collaborators at Boston College, has taken a step toward understanding a great physical mystery. view more (2007-12-26)
New theory for latest high-temperature superconductors
Physicists from Rice and Rutgers universities have published a new theory that explains some of the complex electronic and magnetic properties of iron "pnictides." In a series of startling discoveries this spring, pnictides were shown to superconduct at relatively high temperatures. The surprising discoveries created a great deal of... view more... (2008-08-14)
New particle explains odd behavior in cuprate superconductors
New fundamental particles aren't found only at Fermilab and at other particle accelerators. They also can be found hiding in plain pieces of ceramic, scientists at the University of Illinois report. view more (2007-07-18)
Superconductivity can induce magnetism
When an electrical current passes through a wire it emanates heat - a principle that's found in toasters and incandescent light bulbs. view more (2008-09-12)
Room temperature superconductivity
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have for the first time identified a key component to unravelling the mystery of room temperature superconductivity, according to a paper published in today's edition of the scientific journal Nature. view more (2008-07-10)
The quest for a new class of superconductors
Fifty years after the Nobel-prize winning explanation of how superconductors work, a research team from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of Edinburgh and Cambridge University are suggesting another mechanism for the still-mysterious phenomenon. view more (2007-12-21)
Exotic Materials Using Neptunium, Plutonium Provide Insight into Superconductivity
Physicists at Rutgers and Columbia universities have gained new insight into the origins of superconductivity - a property of metals where electrical resistance vanishes - by studying exotic chemical compounds that contain neptunium and plutonium. view more (2008-07-22)
A step nearer to understanding superconductivity
Transporting energy without any loss, travelling in magnetically levitated trains, carrying out medical imaging (MRI) with small-scale equipment: all these things could come true if we had superconducting materials that worked at room temperature. view more (2007-06-07)
New theory explains enhanced superconductivity in nanowires
Superconducting wires are used in magnetic resonance imaging machines, high-speed magnetic-levitation trains, and in sensitive devices that detect variations in the magnetic field of a brain. view more (2006-10-19)
Secrets behind high temperature superconductors revealed
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) have found evidence that magnetism is involved in the mechanism behind high temperature superconductivity. view more (2009-02-23)
Magnetism governs properties of iron-based superconductors
Though a year has passed since the discovery of a new family of high-temperature superconductors, a viable explanation for the iron-based materials' unusual properties remains elusive. But a team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may be close to the answer. view more (2009-03-26)
Argonne scientists prove unconventional superconductivity in new iron arsenide compounds
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory used inelastic neutron scattering to show that superconductivity in a new family of iron arsenide superconductors cannot be explained by conventional theories. view more (2009-01-13)
Strain has major effect on high-temp superconductors
Just a little mechanical strain can cause a large drop in the maximum current carried by high-temperature superconductors, according to novel measurements carried out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-02-16)
Researchers peg magnetism as key driver of high-temperature superconductivity
When it comes to superconductivity, magnetic excitations may top good vibrations. view more (2006-07-06)
Soap, DNA and semiconductors
How can studying soap lead to better methods for transporting drugs around the body? Where’s the link between semiconductors and DNA and how can statistical physics reveal how ecosystems evolve? Find out at the Institute of Physics Condensed Matter and Materials Physics (CMMP) Conference being held at the University of Bristol between 18 and... view more... (2000-12-13)
Los Alamos Scientists See New Mechanism for Superconductivity
Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity. view more (2008-11-24)
Superconductors get a boost from pressure
Superconductors can convey more than 150 times more electricity than copper wires because they don't restrict electron movement, the essence of electricity. view more (2008-05-20)
Scientists detect 'fingerprint' of high-temp superconductivity above transition temperature
A team of U.S. and Japanese scientists has shown for the first time that the spectroscopic "fingerprint" of high-temperature superconductivity remains intact well above the super chilly temperatures at which these materials carry current with no resistance. view more (2009-08-28)
