For more than a century, condensed matter physics has grappled with one of its greatest unsolved challenges: how to build superconductors that operate at room temperature and transmit electricity with ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

Room-temperature superconductivity has been the self-driving car of physics, with scientists predicting that a breakthrough was five years away for the past 50 years. Still, a new discovery could be ...

The original team of South Korean LK99 Room Temperature and atmospheric pressure superconductors researchers will have a short 12 minute presentation at the American Physical Society conference. The ...

The summer of room-temperature superconductivity was short-lived. It started with some manuscripts placed on the arXiv toward the end of July, which purportedly described how to synthesize a compound ...

Superconducting materials could play a crucial role in the energy-efficient applications of the future. However, several ...

It’s been a fun few weeks. The internet — and more than a few scientists — got their hopes up a couple weeks ago when a team of physicists from South Korea announced that they had created a ...

There are some people who expected more from the PCPOSOS room temperature superconductor talk. They strangely expected the team to bring the sample and show it live. BUT that is not what the abstract ...

After a raucous year of supposed breakthroughs in superconducting physics, 2023 is looking like it’s going to end with a whimper. This summer, LK-99 was the room-temperature superconductor du jour.

The world desperately needs a room-temperature superconductor—a material that exhibits no electrical resistance at atmospheric temperatures and pressure. But it isn’t easy to find. Luckily, according ...
