Creating a material that perfectly conducts electricity at room temperature and pressure would be a big deal, but a research team's claims of creating one has attracted more scrutiny than optimism

The future of electronics will be based on novel kinds of materials. Sometimes, however, the naturally occurring topology of atoms makes it difficult for new physical effects to be created. To tac ...

An MIT research team has made a breakthrough in understanding how iron selenide, an unconventional superconductor, undergoes a nematic transition.’

A study led by researchers from the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) has managed to explain the essential aspects of superconductivity (the ability of certain materials to co ...

Today, our Southeast Asia bureau chief explains what’s at stake in the Thai election. Also, a court in Pakistan ordered the release of Imran Khan.

A better understanding of emergent phenomena like the wetness of water, where the properties of a system can't be explained by those of its constituent parts, could unravel some big mysteries

On Friday's show: It may sound like science fiction, but research from the University of Houston outlines a fuel-efficient concept for moving vehicles along a modified highway system of the future at up to 400 miles an hour, making some aspects of air travel obsolete.

Dr. Zhifeng Ren from the University of Houston explains his concept, which was just published in the journal APL Energy.

Ivan Sutherland played a key role in foundational computer technologies. Now he sees a path for America to claim the mantle in “superconducting” chips.

Superconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures make them costly and difficult to use. Room-temperature superconductors promise to change that.
