Physicists discover a copper-free high-temperature superconducting oxide - Tech and Science Post

Physicists have for the first time made a diamond into a time-quasi crystal. Its lattice faults vibrate in the order typical of quasicrystals – but in time instead of in space. This creates superimposed vibrations in the diamond, whose complex pattern resembles musical chords. The new time-quasi crystal thus expands the range of time-crystal phenomena – and may even be useful. Normal crystals are characterized by the regular, symmetrical grid st…

Physicists discover a copper-free high-temperature superconducting oxide - Tech and Science Post

Professor Ariando and Dr. Stephen Lin Er Chow from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Department of Physics have designed and synthesized a groundbreaking new material—a copper-free superconducting oxide—capable of superconducting at approximately 40 Kelvin (K), or about minus 233°C, under ambient pressure. Nearly four decades after the discovery of copper oxide superconductivity, which earned the 1987 Nobel Prize in Physics, the NUS res…
