Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life, but even the most efficient power lines lose energy along the way. For decades, scientists have searched for materials that could carry electric current ...

Shun-Li Shang, research professor of materials science and engineering at Penn State, is a co-investigator on this study. More information: Zi-Kui Liu et al, Revealing symmetry-broken superconducting ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Partial electron ((a), in yellow) and hole (b), in blue) SNCDDs of YBCO7 predicted by PBE, viewed along c-axis, showing the double ...

Durham University scientists have completed one of the largest quality verification programmes ever carried out on superconducting materials, helping to ensure the success of the world’s biggest ...

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new ...

Recently, it has become quite common among netizens to refer to Korea University as the ‘Superconductor University.’ This humorous expression stems from the successful development of a ‘superconductor ...

An international joint research team has successfully achieved a breakthrough improvement in the junction properties between graphene and superconducting electrodes. This 2D superconducting junction ...

Jacob Linder and his colleagues are on the trail of a triplet superconductor. But what exactly is that? The blue thing in the picture—of course! It shows the transformation of a singlet superconductor ...
