Superconducting radio frequency (SRF)-cavities in the field of particle accelerators are mostly manufactured from bulk or sheet niobium (Nb). Complex shapes of SRF-components like high order ...

“Intercrystals” pave the way for greener electronics and quantum technologies Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have discovered a new class of materials – called intercrystals – with unique ...

The quest for room-temperature superconductivity has just taken a major step forward. A team of physicists has discovered that the fundamental constants of the Universe could allow this phenomenon, ...

For two layers of graphene, her team found that the superconducting current is much “stiffer” – it resists change more – than is predicted by any conventional theory of superconductivity.

In 2024, superconductivity—the flow of electric current with zero resistance—was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon.

High-temperature superconductivity is one of the great mysteries of modern physics: Some materials conduct electrical current without any resistance—but only at very low temperatures. Finding a ...

Superconductivity is not just a cool trick; it has the potential to revolutionize technology. For instance, MRI machines in hospitals use superconducting magnets to create detailed images of our ...

But whether that implies superconductivity as it is normally defined is unclear. It might be the result of preexisting, small-scale superconducting currents being amplified, rather than of typical ...

Jun 05, 2024 Enhancing superconductivity of graphene-calcium superconductors (Nanowerk News) Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when they are cooled below ...

During a recent Dean’s Faculty Fellow Public Talk, Vishik guided attendees through “Superconductivity: The Hype and the Reality.” The lecture took a sobering look at the field while also providing ...

Reducing power consumption is a crucial task in the development of novel supercomputers with non-von Neumann architecture, based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). The work presents design and ...
