For three decades, one quiet crystal has sat at the center of a fierce argument about how exotic superconductors really work.

New research sharpens understanding of the hidden symmetry in a mysterious superconductor. Superconductors are materials that ...

What Happened? Shares of power resiliency solutions provider American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC) jumped 5.8% in the morning ...

While superconductors are known to induce weak superconducting behavior in nearby materials, the iron's induced behavior was ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...
