Urbana, IL--Forty-five years after superconductivity was first discovered in metals, the physics giving rise to it was finally explained in 1957 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in ...

Never say never - or for that matter, "insoluble." That's the philosophy of Professor of Physics Leon Cooper, whose theory of superconductivity - once thought to be an insoluble, or impossible to ...

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 ...

For decades, a family of crystals has stumped physicists with its baffling ability to superconduct—that is, carry an electric current without any resistance—at far warmer temperatures than other ...

Several lines of thought are pursued in an attempt to further clarify the role played by phonons in the theory of superconductivity. The central results of BCS theory are examined in the context of ...

Chinese researchers have proposed a theory for understanding the LK99 superconductor. This paper assumes the south Korean LK99 claims are correct for critical temperature and critical current. The ...
