- 1YbSb2 superconductor defies expectations with self-generated magnetic field●YbSb2, a "plain" Type I superconductor, has shattered expectations. Scientists found it spontaneously generates its own
Scientists report that YbSb2, previously considered an ordinary Type I superconductor, spontaneously generates its own internal magnetic field, breaking time-reversal symmetry — a first for this class of material. The finding challenges assumptions about 'plain' superconductors and is prompting physicists to reconsider how such materials behave, with possible implications for future superconductivity research.
