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.....»»
"Charge density wave" linked to atomic distortions in would-be superconductor
What makes some materials carry current with no resistance? Scientists are trying to unravel the complex characteristics. Harnessing this property, known as superconductivity, could lead to perfectly efficient power lines, ultrafast computers, and a.....»»
Replication of room-temperature superconductor claims fails to show superconductivity
A team of physicists at Nanjing University, attempting to replicate the superconductivity results from an experiment conducted by a team at the University of Rochester, produced the desired material but also found that it was not superconductive. In.....»»
Replication of high-temperature superconductor comes up empty
Researchers create the same material, see no sign of any unusual behavior. Enlarge / Lutetium, the metal at the core of superconductivity claims. (credit: L Yagovy) On Monday, the journal Nature released a report from Na.....»»
Superconductivity with Tc as high as 32K found in borides
Superconductors with high transition temperature (high-Tc SCs) are long-sought targets in the condensed matter physics and materials communities because of significant scientific and application values. Since the discovery of superconductivity in mer.....»»

A model system of topological superconductivity mediated by skyrmionic magnons
Topological superconductors are superconducting materials with unique characteristics, including the appearance of so-called in-gap Majorana states. These bound states can serve as qubits, making topological superconductors particularly promising for.....»»
Using superconductors to move people, cargo and energy through one combined system
The promise of superconductivity for electrical power transmission and transportation has long been held back by high costs. Now researchers from the University of Houston and Germany have demonstrated a way to cut the cost and upend both the transit.....»»
Restaurant menu labels could help fight climate change, new research says
If people had more information about the carbon footprint generated by the food they eat, would they make different decisions when ordering in restaurants?.....»»

A robotic beehive to prevent honeybees from dying due to "chill coma"
A combined team of roboticists and biologists from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, in Switzerland and the University of Graz, in Austria, has developed what they describe as a robotic honeycomb to keep honeybees from dying due to "chill.....»»
Room-temperature superconductor works at lower pressures
Results come from a lab that had an earlier superconductivity paper retracted. Enlarge / **FOCUS STACK OF 33 IMAGES, COLOR ENHANCED** An approximately 1 mm diameter sample of lutetium hydride is pictured though a microscope in th.....»»
Reaching superconductivity layer by layer
Imagine a sheet of material just one layer of atoms thick—less than a millionth of a millimeter. While this may sound fantastical, such a material exists: it is called graphene and it is made from carbon atoms in a honeycomb arrangement. First synt.....»»

Frustrated ferromagnetic transition in AB-stacked honeycomb bilayer
In two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnets, anisotropy is essential for the magnetic ordering as dictated by the Mermin-Wagner theorem. The recently discovered van der Waals ferromagnets are largely considered to have uniaxial anisotropy. On the other hand.....»»
Evidence for a chiral superconductor could bring quantum computing closer to the mainstream
The University of Tennessee's physicists have led a scientific team that found silicon—a mainstay of the soon-to-be trillion-dollar electronics industry—can host a novel form of superconductivity that could bring rapidly emerging quantum technolo.....»»
