- 1YbSb2 superconductor found generating its own 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 a material of this class. The finding challenges assumptions about conventional superconductors and suggests their physics may be richer than expected, prompting researchers to re-examine other 'plain' superconducting materials.
