New superconducting state discovered: Cooper-pair density modulation

New superconducting state could aid search for room temperature superconductor

Physicists have produced a superconductor which could help achieve room-temperature operations which would be useful in applications like medicine, transportation and lossless power transmission. The new California Institute of Technology superconductor has stronger superconductivity in some areas and weaker in others. Superconductivity is a quantum state where metals can conduct electricity with no resistance. It is already used to for powerful…

New superconducting state discovered: Cooper-pair density modulation

Superconductivity is a quantum physical state in which a metal is able to conduct electricity perfectly without any resistance. In its most familiar application, it enables powerful magnets in MRI machines to create the magnetic fields that allow doctors to see inside our bodies. Thus far, materials can only achieve superconductivity at extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero (a few tens of Kelvin or colder).

Physicists have discovered a new form of superconductivity, which can be used to work with a larger energy source. The findings of the work could lead to improved practical applications of resistance-free electricity transport. (Continue reading)
