For the first time, a quantum computer has successfully measured pairing correlations (quantum signals that show electrons ...

MIT scientists uncovered direct evidence of unconventional superconductivity in magic-angle graphene by observing a distinctive V-shaped energy gap. The discovery hints that electron pairing in this ...

Researchers at the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan have reported the first use of ultra-low power ...

For the first time, scientists have figured out how to measure a system, no matter how extreme the energy difference. Two UA physicists may have fundamentally altered thinking about thermodynamics, a ...

A key piece of experimental evidence for superconductivity in the La-Sc-H ternary system, says co-author Guangtao Liu, came ...

Flash Physics is our daily pick of the latest need-to-know developments from the global physics community selected by Physics World‘s team of editors and reporters In the balance: the kilogram can be ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

First discovered by Dutch physicist Heike Onnes in the early 20th century, superconductivity is a rare phenomenon observed in metallic materials where its resistance to electrons flow was lost at ...

A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by physicists. Turbulence in quantum systems, for example in superfluid helium 4, takes place on microscopic scales, and so ...
