Abstract:
Scientists on the hunt for an unconventional kind of superconductor have produced the most compelling evidence to date that they ve found one. In a pair of papers, researchers at the University of Maryland s (UMD) Quantum Materials Center (QMC) and colleagues have shown that uranium ditelluride (or UTe2 for short) displays many of the hallmarks of a topological superconductor a material that may unlock new ways to build quantum computers and other futuristic devices.
