Hope springs eternal. For decades, there have been claims that researchers have created room-temperature superconductors. The materials promise to conduct an electric current with zero resistance ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which perfectly conduct electricity — have long beguiled and tantalized physicists. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, ...

Recent advancements in the field of superconductivity suggest that the once elusive goal of room-temperature superconductors may be within our grasp. Reports from 2024 and 2025 indicate significant ...

Scientists in South Korea have begun developing a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor, if new claims are to be believed. The claim is published in a paper on the arXiv pre-publish server ...

The news doesn’t go long without some kind of superconductor announcement these days. Unfortunately, these come in several categories: materials that require warmer temperatures than previous ...

For the first time in the world, researchers (From Korea University, Sukbae Lee, Ji-Hoon Kim, Hyun-Tak Kim) have succeeded in synthesizing a room-temperature superconductor (Tc≥400 K, 127∘C) working ...

Electrons are starting to misbehave in ways that used to belong only in low-temperature physics labs, and the results are beginning to show up at everyday temperatures. Instead of drifting sluggishly ...

Just when you thought the hype about room-temperature superconductors was over, it’s not. A Swiss quantum algorithm startup, Terra Quantum, and a research lab at the State University of Campinas ...
