Scientists have discovered active flat electronic bands in a kagome superconductor CsCr₃Sb₅, providing experimental evidence of quantum states influenced by lattice geometry, which could lead to new quantum materials and technologies.
Scientists have discovered a superconducting material, nicknamed "reddmatter", that can transmit electricity without resistance and pass magnetic fields around the material. The material can be used practically as it works at a low temperature and pressure. It could lead to power grids that can seamlessly transmit energy, saving up to 200 million megawatt hours lost to resistance. It could also contribute to nuclear fusion, high-speed trains, and new medical equipment. The material is made by mixing lutetium with hydrogen and a small part of nitrogen and then pressing it at high pressure.
Scientists have discovered a new superconducting material, nicknamed "reddmatter", that can transmit electricity without resistance and pass magnetic fields around the material. The material can be used in practical situations, including power grids, nuclear fusion, high-speed trains, and medical equipment. The material still requires being heated to 20.5 degrees Celsius and compressed to about 145,000 psi, but it is vastly less intense than other similar materials. The scientists involved in the paper say that it will mark a new era for the practical use of superconducting materials.
