But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." The world desperately needs a room-temperature superconductor—a material that exhibits no electrical ...

A new type of computer uses oscillators in special materials to find the most efficient solutions to complex scheduling and routing problems at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) A line of engineering ...

Hope springs eternal. For decades, there have been claims that researchers have created room-temperature superconductors. The materials promise to conduct an electric current with zero resistance ...

Just when you thought the hype about room-temperature superconductors was over, it’s not. A Swiss quantum algorithm startup, Terra Quantum, and a research lab at the State University of Campinas ...

Electrons are starting to misbehave in ways that used to belong only in low-temperature physics labs, and the results are beginning to show up at everyday temperatures. Instead of drifting sluggishly ...
