Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with an electrical resistance of zero. Superconductivity is generally ...

Exotic superconducting states could exist in a wider range of materials than previously thought, according to a theoretical study by two RIKEN researchers published in Physical Review B.

(a) Crystal structure of the team’s new material. (b) The lengths of repeating unit cells (lattice constants) as a function of iron to nickel ratio. (c) Transition temperatures as a function of iron ...

The mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity remains one of the most important unresolved mysteries in condensed matter physics. Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in ...
