For the first time, scientists have created a "spin triplet" supercurrent through a ferromagnet over a long distance.   view more (2006-02-16)

'Cooper pairs' can be found in insulators as well superconductors
Nearly a century ago, Dutch physicist Kamerlingh Onnes discovered that some metals transform into perfect electrical conductors when cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. Once started, their currents of electrons can flow perpetually.   view more (2007-11-26)

Never-before-made material similar to diamonds and ice, says UH professor
Not since the use of germanium in the first transistor radios and the discovery of its crucial role in semiconductor research more than 50 years ago has the study of this element garnered so much attention.   view more (2006-11-29)

Researchers Find That Superman's Teeth Can Superconduct
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that phosphorus, an element commonly found in teeth, can act as a "superconductor" - but you would have to have the strength of Superman to clench your teeth hard enough for it to work - as it happens at a pressure of around 2.5 megabars... view more (2003-10-13)

Finding superconductors that can take the heat
Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance that are used to make strong magnets and must be kept extremely cold-otherwise, they lose their superconducting abilities.   view more (2005-11-09)

The new 'look' of superconductivity
Ames Laboratory physicist Ruslan Prozorov's discovery of the complex patterns in superconducting lead marks a noteworthy departure from the model first proposed by Russian physicist Lev Landau in the 1930s.   view more (2007-07-09)

MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity.   view more (2005-06-22)
