With the support of electrical transport and magnetic measurement systems of Steady High Magnetic Field Facility (SHMFF), a research team from Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS), Chinese ...

Scientists at the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University have discovered an unexpected "quantum echo" in a superconducting material. This discovery provides ...

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn't a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new ...

When Heike Kamerlingh Onnes cooled mercury to a few degrees above absolute zero in 1911, its electrical resistance dropped ...

This model connects the quantum world of electrons with the statistical behavior of large particle systems to predict how materials change as temperatures rise. By combining the two, the researchers ...

The field of organic conductors and superconducting materials has evolved around π-conjugated molecules arranged into low-dimensional stacks or layers, where strong electron correlations, lattice ...

Superconducting materials, characterised by zero electrical resistance and perfect diamagnetism below a critical temperature, have transformed the landscape of high-field magnet technology. The advent ...

Crack propagation angles of oblique cracks at (a) tape center and (b) tape edge. Both cracks had an initial angle of 60. The crack propagations deflected from the initial crack angles. In the realm of ...

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have received much attention due to their numerous applications in catalysis, energy storage, and integrated circuits. However, the relatively low ...
