(Phys.org)—A combined team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute and Johannes Gutenberg University, both in Germany has backed up the findings of prior research indicating hydrogen sulfide becomes a superconductor ...
If we are to see the promised benefits of high-temperature superconductors, such as low-loss motors and generators or maglev trains, we will need superconductors that can carry very large currents.
