His and a colleague’s breakthroughs in high-temperature superconductors were honored with a Nobel Prize in Physics and opened up a world of scientific possibilities. By Dylan Loeb McClain It’s rare ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio—Experiments in doping molecule-thin films of ceramic with the rare-earth element cerium suggest that low-temperature superconducting states can exist at the higher temperatures of the ...

Recent discoveries regarding the physics of ceramic superconductors may help improve scientists' understanding of resistance-free electrical power. Tiny, isolated patches of superconductivity exist ...

Nobody completely understands superconductors. So fathom how James S. Schilling, Ph.D., led a team that makes the phenomenon work better. Schilling, a professor of physics in Arts & Sciences at ...

Waste heat is all around you. On a small scale, if your phone or laptop feels warm, that’s because some of the energy powering the device is being transformed into unwanted heat. On a larger scale, ...

Magnesium diboride ceramic superconductors have garnered interest owing to their ease of fabrication, light weight, and low cost. However, a cheap and efficient technique for boron refinement is ...

Hancock, N.H. – Highly uniform atomic-layer structures built at the University of Illinois with high-critical-temperature superconducting materials have produced unexpected effects that may yield ...

(Nanowerk News) Hydrogen (like many of us) acts weird under pressure. Theory predicts that when crushed by the weight of more than a million times our atmosphere, this light, abundant, normally ...
