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

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

Room temperature superconductivity has been a buzzword in materials science for decades, but now it may finally be a reality, with the potential to revolutionise the way we use electricity. An ...

Using extremely high pressures, experimentalists have created many superconducting hydride compounds including one—carbon sulfur hydride (CSH)—that appears to work at close to room temperature.

Magnets tuned with lasers at room temperature could lead to faster hard drives and a new generation of computer chips.

When cooled to low enough temperatures, certain materials will superconduct: the electrical resistance inside them will drop to zero. When exposed to a strong magnetic field, some superconductors will ...
