Meissner Effect

Harvard scientists have made a significant advance in high-pressure physics by creating a tool that directly images superconducting materials under extreme conditions, facilitating new discoveries in the field of superconducting hydrides. Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theo

Researchers published a new theoretical framework. Physicists have pinpointed a mechanism responsible for the creation of oscillating superconductivity, termed pair-density waves. The findings, which shed light on an atypical high-temperature superconductive state observed in specific materials lik

Evidence is mounting that LK-99 is not a room-temperature superconductor. But some scientists still wonder if the material has other interesting properties.

The diode's 50% efficiency would be a boon for chip design.

Social media is abuzz with chatter about the material, but some scientists are pushing back on the hype.

A Korean superconductivity academic body invalidated the research results from a team of Korean researchers claiming to have developed a room-temperature superconductor in its preliminary assessment.

A detour into the future of physics.

Last week, a group of South Korean physicists made a startling claim. In two papers uploaded to the arXiv preprint server, they say they have created a material that "opens a new era for humankind."

Compilation of all Claims/Reports of Replication Efforts underway that I know of (all Reliability of Claim classifications are based on my personal judgement, do not take them at face value, read the details and judge for yourself) : Official/Professional/Institutional Group Country...

A magical material that could effortlessly conduct electricity at room temperatures would probably transform civilization, reclaiming energy otherwise lost to electrical resistance and opening poss…

Meeting the world's energy demands is reaching a critical point. Powering the technological age has caused issues globally. It is increasingly important to create superconductors that can operate at ambient pressure and temperature. This would go a long way toward solving the energy crisis.

The dream of zero resistance is closer than you may think.

Three exotic new species of superconductivity were spotted last year, illustrating the myriad ways electrons can join together to form a frictionless quantum soup.

"This year, superconductivity — the flow of electric current with zero resistance — was discovered in three distinct materials," reports Quanta magazine. "Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon. The third shreds it completely...." After four years of reser...

After decades of work, physicists have finally broken into the atom to build the first nuclear clock

Understanding and measuring quantum gravity could unlock secrets about the very origin of the universe. New research is bringing us closer than ever.

Levitating magnets at sub-zero temperatures could lead to revolutionary cosmic insights.

Scientists are a step closer to unraveling the mysterious forces of the universe after working out how to measure gravity on a microscopic level.

It was the second paper led by Ranga P. Dias, a researcher at the University of Rochester, that the journal Nature has retracted.

Improving the technology of superconductors, already used in the Large Hadron Collider and MRI machines, would revolutionize our everyday life. Here's how.
