The online frenzies that followed LK-99 and ChatGPT reveal a resurgent techno-optimism—and a shared longing for a new technology that will free us from human limits. The floaty rock, LK-99, a room-tem...

A recent report of possible room temperature superconductivity in Cu-substituted apatite has sparked interest in understanding high-temperature superconductivity. Density functional theory calculation...

MIT scientists and colleagues have created a simple superconducting device that could transfer current through electronic devices much more efficiently than is possible today. The diode, a kind of swi...

For the first time in the world, we succeeded in synthesizing the room-temperature superconductor (Tc ≥ 400 K, 127 oC) working at ambient pressure with a modified lead-apatite (LK-99) structure. The s...

Physicists have identified a crucial nematic switch that enables ultrathin materials to undergo a nematic transition and unlock superconductivity, a process that could pave the way for new ways to dri...

MIT physicists have discovered a new property in magic-angle graphene, enabling the superconductivity to be turned on and off with an electric pulse. Magic-angle graphene refers to a specific form of ...
