An illustration depicts pairs of superconducting electrons in rhombohedral graphene (the middle lattice structure) that spin in clockwise or counterclockwise direction (corresponding to blue and red ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before.

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, theoretical physicists at MIT explained how ...

When scientists cooled rhombohedral graphene to a very low temperature, it behaved like both a superconductor and magnet at the same time. As scientists did not think this was possible, this ...

Under pressures that would crush a car into scrap, a long standing mystery about how some of the most extreme superconductors actually work is finally giving way. By combining new measurement tricks ...

In a landmark achievement for fusion energy, ITER has completed all components for the world’s largest, most powerful pulsed superconducting electromagnet system. ITER is an international ...

Fabrication and testing of the sixth and final 110-tonne superconducting magnet for the ITER fusion machine's 18-metre-tall central solenoid has been completed in the USA. Assembly of the central ...

Stellarators are fusion machines which contain hot, ionized matter (plasma) within a magnetic field of remarkable strength and sophisticated geometry. Significant progress including the highest plasma ...
