- 1Scientists Strengthen Superconductor Using 'Empty Space'▼Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”
Researchers report a breakthrough in superconductor materials by exploiting so-called 'empty space' — structural voids in the material — to make the superconductor stronger. The finding, published via ScienceDaily, suggests that manipulating empty regions within a material's structure can improve its superconducting performance. The work could influence future research into more efficient superconducting materials for technology and energy applications.
- 2Cooper pairs found surviving above superconducting critical temperature▼Cooper pairs found above superconducting critical temperature in pair density waves
Researchers report that Cooper pairs, the paired electron states that enable superconductivity, have been detected at temperatures above the superconducting critical temperature in pair density waves. The finding suggests pairing can persist beyond the point where superconductivity vanishes, offering new clues about the transition into the superconducting state and the mechanisms behind unconventional superconductors.
