Scientists boost superconductor strength using empty space

Original: Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”

Researchers report they have strengthened a superconductor by exploiting what they describe as "empty space," according to a new study covered by ScienceDaily. The advance suggests that engineering vacancy-like voids or structural gaps within a material can improve its superconducting performance, offering a new route to more robust superconductors. Details of the material, the mechanism and the potential applications have not been made widely available beyond the headline coverage.

Why now: Superconductor breakthroughs draw wide attention because of their potential impact on energy, computing and technology.
