The achievement of these results is a big step toward building a quantum computer.

Possible 'topological superconductor' could overcome industry's problem of quantum decoherence.

A team led by Princeton physicist Ali Yazdani has shown that strong electron interactions play a key role in the superconductivity that has been discovered in graphene, a material made up of single-layer sheets of carbon atoms.

The so-called "Jülich process" makes it possible to combine superconductors and topological insulators in the ultra-high vacuum and thereby produce complex components.

High-temperature superconductivity fascinates because of the deep mystery it represents for physicists, and because of the promise of applications in wind turbines, levitating trains and “no-resistance” power grids. Milan Allan’s research group used a special Scanning Tunneling Microscope to image spatial variations of superconducting particles for the first time in these materials, and published about it in Nature.

Seminal, seventy-year-old theory of turbulence experimentally verified for first time; applications range from Jupiter's Great Red Spot to electron movement in superconductors.

A hydrogen-rich material becomes superconductive under high pressure and at minus 23 degrees Celsius. The discovery is another important step towards reaching zero electrical resistance at temperatures relevant for energy applications.

A versatile experimental method to achieve simultaneous control of the number and the transfer energy of the electrons has been long desired.
