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 ...

After a raucous year of supposed breakthroughs in superconducting physics, 2023 is looking like it’s going to end with a whimper. This summer, LK-99 was the room-temperature superconductor du jour.

A new type of computer uses oscillators in special materials to find the most efficient solutions to complex scheduling and routing problems at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) A line of engineering ...

Electrons are starting to misbehave in ways that used to belong only in low-temperature physics labs, and the results are beginning to show up at everyday temperatures. Instead of drifting sluggishly ...

It may be too soon to mourn the demise of a room-temperature superconductivity claim. On September 26, the journal Nature retracted a paper describing a material that seemed to turn into a ...
