For the first time, scientists have figured out how to measure a system, no matter how extreme the energy difference. Two UA physicists may have fundamentally altered thinking about thermodynamics, a ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

An abrupt transition in the electrical resistance of graphite at 350 K could be a signature of superconductivity occurring well above room temperature (293 K). That is the claim of Pablo Esquinazi and ...

A special type of laser spectroscopy has been used by researchers in Australia to measure the velocities of atoms in caesium vapour. The technique could allow researchers to infer both the temperature ...

When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance, becoming superconductors. When some materials are cooled to a certain temperature, they lose electric resistance ...
