"Breakthrough Discovery: Superconducting Properties Unveiled in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides"

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has discovered a new superconducting material, (InSe2)xNbSe2, with a unique lattice structure and a superconducting transition temperature of 11.6 K, the highest among transition metal sulfide superconductors under ambient pressure. This material exhibits an impressive critical current density and opens up new possibilities for advancing superconductivity research and developing high-temperature superconductors with improved performance.
