Breakthrough in Superconductivity: US Scientists Unveil New Material

Researchers at Yale University have discovered a new type of superconducting material that supports the theory of superconductivity driven by electronic nematicity. Using a scanning tunneling microscope, they studied iron selenide materials mixed with sulfur at extremely low temperatures, revealing a "superconducting gap" that aligns with theoretical predictions. This breakthrough enhances understanding of superconductivity mechanisms and could lead to the development of advanced technologies like efficient power grids and high-speed computing systems.
