Quantum locking looks like magic, but it’s real physics in action. This video breaks down how superconductors interact with magnetic fields, why objects can appear to float or lock in place, and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The quantum behavior of superconducting circuits like the small white square above was a major discovery. K. Cicak and R. Simmonds ...

A physics professor at the University of Nevada, Reno and his colleagues have identified quantum geometry as an opportunity to increase the superconducting temperature of two-dimensional ...

A superconductor made from germanium, a material commonly used to build computer chips, could one day create better and more reliable quantum computers. Superconductors are materials that conduct ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of materials needed for large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The significant breakthrough means that, for the ...

Superconductors (materials that conduct electricity without resistance) have fascinated physicists for more than a century. While conventional superconductors are well understood, a new class of ...

Researchers at Okayama University used high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction to detect tiny lattice distortions (about 100 parts per million) emerging as the topological superconductor Cu x ...
