How exactly unconventional superconductivity arises is one of the central questions of modern solid-state physics. A new ...

Physicists have discovered that hidden magnetic order plays a key role in the pseudogap, a puzzling state of matter that appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Using an ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Physicists at MIT have developed a theory showing how superconductivity can emerge inside magnetic materials. (CREDIT: ...

How are superconductivity and magnetism connected? A puzzling relation between magnetism and superconductivity in a quantum ...

Substantial progress has been made in the quest for room-temperature superconductors, setting the stage for a potential revolution in energy transmission and storage. The breakthrough experiments and ...

Superconductivity was discovered around a century ago in mercury that had been cooled to nearly absolute zero 2. A large number of metals and their alloys display superconductivity when cooled to a ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two ...

Researchers involving the University of Würzburg discover microscopic connection between correlated electron states and ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy the other. Yet in the past year, experiments in two very different ...
