Chinese scientists have achieved high-temperature superconductivity in nickel oxide materials under ambient pressure conditions. The discovery establishes nickel-based materials as the third ...

These Cooper pairs condense into a quantum state with zero resistance and perfect diamagnetism. Unconventional superconductors, including high-temperature superconductors (HTS) and heavy fermion ...

The two researchers, based at IBM's research labs in Zürich, bucked conventional wisdom about what makes a material superconducting ... the mechanism of high-T c superconductivity, just as ...

Objects such as superconductors or diamagnetic materials (materials repelled by a magnetic field) can be made to float above magnets to develop advanced sensors for various scientific and everyday ...

How would room-temperature superconductors change science? “There’s a huge hope that we could eventually raise the critical temperature and make [such materials] more useful for applications ...

and iron-based materials – to achieve superconductivity above the threshold of minus 233 degrees Celsius (minus 387 Fahrenheit) at ambient or “normal” pressure, according to state media.

Their approach succeeded in stabilizing superconductivity in these materials at room pressure for the first time. The results are published in Nature. The researchers observed that the material's ...
