Experiment reveals quantum tug-of-war limiting high-temperature superconductivity
Original: Experiment reveals quantum tug-of-war limiting higher-temperature superconductivity
Researchers report a new experiment showing that a quantum 'tug-of-war' between competing interactions in superconducting materials constrains how high temperatures at which superconductivity can occur. The findings help explain why certain cuprate materials stop superconducting at relatively low temperatures, offering a target for scientists hoping to design materials that conduct electricity without resistance at closer to room temperature.
Why now: New physics research on the long-standing quest for room-temperature superconductors has just been published
