Superconductivity from buckled-honeycomb-vacancy ordering
Crystals inherently possess imperfections. Vacancies, as the simplest form of point defects, significantly alter the optical, thermal, and electrical properties of materials. Well-known examples include color centers in many gemstones, the nitrogen-v.....»»

Low pressure, high stakes: Physicists make major gains in race for room-temperature superconductivity
Less than two years after shocking the science world with the discovery of a material capable of room-temperature superconductivity, a team of UNLV physicists has upped the ante once again by reproducing the feat at the lowest pressure ever recorded......»»
Buckyballs on gold are less exotic than graphene
Graphene consists of carbon atoms that crosslink in a plane to form a flat honeycomb structure. In addition to surprisingly high mechanical stability, the material has exciting electronic properties. The electrons behave like massless particles, whic.....»»
A proof of odd-parity superconductivity
Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter in which an electrical current can flow without any resistance. Usually, it can exist in two forms. One is destroyed easily with a magnetic field and has "even parity" (i.e., it has a point symmetric.....»»
Physicists Discover a "Family" of Robust, Superconducting Graphene Structures
In 2018, MIT researchers found that if two graphene layers are stacked at a very specific "magic" angle, the twisted bilayer structure could exhibit robust superconductivity, a widely sought material state in which an electrical current can flow thro.....»»
How to switch Apple Watch apps to List View in watchOS 8
