Low Pressure Superconducting Hydrogen Compound Discovered
We have always thought of hydrogen as a fuel. Yet, there are many possibilities for this interesting element. Normally found in gaseous state, hydrogen is the most common in the universe. Recently, scientists from Carnegie Institution in Washington D.C., have found a way to compress hydrogen in such a manner that it becomes not only solid, but turns into a metallic superconducting state.
Solar Cells and Supercapacitors Improved by New 3D Germanium Sulfide Nanostructure
Next-generation supercapacitors and solar cells could be improved by a newly-created germanium sulfide (GeS) nanomaterial resembling a shish-kebab.
North Carolina State University researchers put up...
Room Temperature Superconductors: a Step Away
Imagine your television set working for 0.0001Watt, or your electric car charged by the Sun as you go. Imagine almost never ending batteries powering cool engines, no power lost through heat.
Scientists Produce Solid Hydrogen Superconductor
A study published in journal Science yesterday claims that for the first time in the history of mankind, solid hydrogen exists on earth.
This solid...
New Iron-Based Material Could Be The Best High Temperature Superconductor
Following the dream of realizing a high-temperature superconductor, Cornell University researchers just found something about iron-based materials: they can be made to resemble electronic liquid crystals.
Swiss High-Temperature Superconductor Discovery Could Change The Grid Forever
A team of researchers from EPFL's Laboratory for Quantum Magnetism could change the way people transmit electricity and the efficiency of the process. Their...
Atom Cooling Leads to Greater Understanding of Superconductors

Researchers Make One More Step Towards Metallic Hydrogen as Superconductor
A team of scientists from Cornell University and the State University of New York at Stony Brook announced this week in a specialized publication that they discovered, at least theoretically, how to turn hydrogen into a metal at significantly lower pressures than ever thought and make a superconductor out of it.
