Scientists may have finally unlocked the unusual role quasiparticles known as "anyons" play in a pair of quantum experiments ...

For decades, physicists taught that superconductivity and magnetism could not share the same space. One state should destroy ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...

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

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Superconductivity - a quantum phenomenon in which metals below a certain temperature develop flow of current with no loss or resistance - is one of the most exciting problems in ...

A team led by Princeton physicist Ali Yazdani has shown that strong electron interactions play a key role in the superconductivity that has been discovered in graphene, a material made up of ...

David D. Nolte receives funding from the National Science Foundation. On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook ...

In spring 2018, the surprising discovery of superconductivity in a new material set the scientific community abuzz. Built by layering one carbon sheet atop another and twisting the top one at a "magic ...

Physicists conducted experiments to explore superconductivity in a groundbreaking new material known as magic-angle twisted graphene. The team imaged electrons on the material's surface and found that ...
