Unified theory may reveal more superconducting materials

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn't a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new way to identify types ...

Light and heavy electrons cooperate in magic-angle superconductors

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable electrical conduction. When they are bound, or "heavy," they can act as insulators. However, in certain ...
