When researchers claimed recently that they had created a material that perfectly conducts electricity – a superconductor – and that it does so at room temperature and pressure, many people were ...

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 ...

Scientists have achieved a milestone by controlling quantum phenomena at room temperature. In the realm of quantum mechanics, the ability to observe and control quantum phenomena at room temperature ...

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