Scientists have set a new record for superconductivity at normal pressure, bringing the field closer to practical, real-world applications.

Researchers from the University of Houston managed to increase the critical temperature for superconductivity by about 18 K at ambient pressure, but at −122°C, they are still 140°C away from the ...

Researchers at the University of Houston’s Texas Center for Superconductivity have achieved another first in their quest toward ambient-pressure high-temperature superconductivity, bringing us one ...

Physicists at the University of Houston have pushed the record for ambient-pressure superconductivity to 151 Kelvin, roughly minus 122 degrees Celsius, in a mercury-based copper-oxide ceramic called ...

Computational physicists have a new paper that says if we made better LK99 samples with mostly high-symmetry phase then it would make the claimed room-temperature superconductors at ambient pressure.

Nothing says “the ’90s are back” like a challenge to a high-temperature superconductor record set in 1993. By squeezing a material to high pressure and then rapidly releasing it, scientists reduced ...

Barometric pressure sensors measure atmospheric pressure in a variety of applications, providing crucial data for weather forecasting, altitude measurement, and environmental monitoring. In the field ...

New research, working toward ambient-pressure high-temperature superconductivity, brings us one step closer to finding superconductors that work in everyday conditions -- and potentially unlocking a ...
