Simulation observes three distinct phases of superconducting dynamics

In physics, scientists have been fascinated by the mysterious behavior of superconductors—materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled to extremely low temperatures. Within these superconducting systems, electrons team up in “Cooper pairs” because they’re attracted to each other due to vibrations in the material called phonons.Quantum Physics NewsRead More

Scientists reveal mysterious and unique behavior in a quantum magnetic material

In the mysterious world of quantum materials, things don’t always behave as we expect. These materials have unique properties governed by the rules of quantum mechanics, which often means that they can perform tasks in ways traditional materials cannot—like conducting electricity without loss—or having magnetic properties that may prove useful in advanced technologies.Quantum Physics NewsRead
