Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… At issue is how can we produce the best superconductors that remain superconducting even at the highest possible temperatures and ambient pressure? Vienna University of Technology with collaboration from Japan show there is a ‘Goldilocks zone’ of superconductivity where palladium-based materials (‘palladates’) could be the solution. A new age of superconductors may be about […]

A Deeper Understanding Found Of How Superconductors Work
September 28, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Waves of magnetic excitation sweep through nickel oxide material whether it’s in superconducting mode or not. Its another clue to how unconventional superconductors carry electric current with no loss. SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a many-layered nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered […]

A new technique developed by researchers at Aalto University and Oak Ridge National Laboratories in the US can detect Cooper pairs occurrence with atomic precision. Superconductivity is caused by specially linked pairs of electrons known as Cooper pairs. Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance whatsoever, commonly requiring extremely low temperatures. They are used in […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Linköping University researchers have, by way of a number of theoretical calculations, shown that magnesium diboride becomes superconductive at a higher temperature when it is stretched. The discovery is a big step toward finding superconductive materials that are useful in real-world situations. Erik Johansson, who recently completed his doctorate at the Division of Theoretical […]

A New Idea About How to Make Superconductors
October 10, 2019 | 1 Comment
Ohio State University researchers, in collaboration with scientists around the world, have made a discovery that could provide new insights into how superconductors might move energy more efficiently to power homes, industries and vehicles. Their work showed that graphene – a material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms – is more likely to […]
