Imagine riding a levitating train at speeds of 14,000 miles per hour — cutting the trip from New York to Los Angeles to just 20 minutes. A team of South Korean researchers say the science fiction ...

A superconductor is a material that takes on some really exotic properties. When the right conditions are reached, all electrical resistance in the material suddenly vanishes and it generates a ...

Most of today's quantum computers rely on qubits with Josephson junctions that work for now but likely won't scale as needed ...

South Korean researchers claim to have developed "LK-99," a superconductor that operates at room temperature and standard atmospheric pressure, a significant departure from previous superconductors ...

Quantum physicists have shown that it's possible to control and manipulate spin waves on a chip using superconductors for the first time. These tiny waves in magnets may offer an alternative to ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. “The variety of electronic ...

As another person who knows next to nothing about materials science, why isn't superconductivity tested for by just measuring the resistance when running a current through the material, rather than ...
