Every once in a while, we all need a good reminder that electromagnetism is mind-boggling. Thankfully, in its latest video, the YouTube channel The Action Lab offers a stellar nod to the force of ...

It’s possible to defy gravity using sound waves, magnets or electricity, but today’s methods can’t hoist heavy items high in ...

Some researchers in Korea have made an extraordinary claim that they’ve developed a superconductor that works at room temperature and pressure. It’s getting a lot of attention — and skepticism. A room ...

Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...

This has been a landmark summer in the world of “floaty rock drama.” Two weeks ago, in a pair of draft papers that have not been peer-reviewed, scientists in South Korea claimed to have found a ...

In recent months, several academic groups have claimed possible discoveries of materials that super-conduct at room temperature. Outside researchers, however, are skeptical. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: LK ...

Superconductors are interesting things, though we don’t really rely on them for much in our day to day lives. They’d be supremely useful, if only they didn’t need to be so darned cold. While the ...

Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...

Superconductivity already has a variety of practical applications, such as medical imaging and levitating transportation like the ever-popular maglev systems. However, to ensure that the benefits of ...
