LK99 is the proposed room temperature superconductor and IF it is confirmed as a superconductor then it will likely be a new class of superconductor. It is different than the previously known type 1 ...

A few years ago, I saw a video about superconductors and it looked like anti-gravity magic. So, I decided to try and make ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

Recently, a superconducting material went viral in the scientific community. Researchers in South Korea say they’ve discovered a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor. If it works, it ...

But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...

If it really is a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor, it would unshackle the technology and make it truly practical for a mind-boggling number of applications. Energy storage, fusion ...

In late July, a couple of startling papers appeared on the arXiv, a repository of pre-peer-review manuscripts on topics in physics and astronomy. The papers claim to describe the synthesis of a ...

It’s been a fun few weeks. The internet — and more than a few scientists — got their hopes up a couple weeks ago when a team of physicists from South Korea announced that they had created a ...

What is a superconductor, and how does it work? Do room-temperature superconductors really break physics? Read on to find out. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new ...

A typical 3D configuration in the superconducting vortex phase in the (hyper)magnetic field background of about 150 exatesla. The equipotential surfaces of the superconducting W condensate are shown ...
