Terahertz wireless has long sounded like the next big leap; fast enough to move huge amounts of data with less delay. Yet the ...

A recent development has rocked the scientific community over the past two weeks. Advocates proclaim that we now potentially stand on the brink of a transformative age in technology that could render ...

Hope springs eternal. For decades, there have been claims that researchers have created room-temperature superconductors. The materials promise to conduct an electric current with zero resistance ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which perfectly conduct electricity — have long beguiled and tantalized physicists. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, ...

An old physical phenomenon, known as the Hall effect, has revealed some new tricks. New findings have potential implications for understanding fundamental physics of quantum materials and developing ...

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 ...

Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) semiconductor lasers are highly sought for medical, biotechnology, and precision manufacturing ...

There have been reports that South Korean researchers have made a practical regular atmospheric pressure room temperature superconductor using basic lab equipment. This would mean superconducting ...

Last month, a team of researchers claimed they’d essentially found the holy grail in the field of physics: a superconductor that can operate at ambient pressures and room temperatures. That’s a huge ...

Room temperature superconductors are a scientific holy grail. They’re like economically viable carbon capture, nuclear rocket engines, or energy net-positive fusion reactions. They’re something that ...
