Physicists at the University of Cologne have taken an important step forward in the pursuit of topological quantum computing ...

But introducing significant disorder to a crystalline superconductor will eventually destroy its ability to superconduct. The most common material for superconducting magnets is a niobium-titanium (Nb ...

A new superconductor material could greatly improve the reliability of quantum computers, scientists say. The electrical ...

We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? The world desperately needs a room-temperature superconductor—a material that exhibits no electrical resistance at atmospheric ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) A nickel-based material has been developed that acts as a superconductor above -233°C (40 K) at ambient pressure, surpassing the McMillan limit. This ...

Levitating Magnet Over a Superconductor: This image captures the Meissner effect, where a superconducting material cooled below its critical temperature repels the magnetic field of a levitating ...
