The device shatters the previous record-high temperature.

Scientists set new temperature record for superconductivity

Getting Warmer

Scientists discover a superconductor that works at temperatures nearly 50 Celsius degrees (84.6 Fahrenheit degrees) hotter than the previous record high.

Scientists Set New Temperature Record for Superconductivity

It’s 50 degrees closer to room-temperature.

If it works, it could let us move energy without losing any in the process.

It could be the energy breakthrough we've been waiting for.

This could finally allow superconductors that run at normal temperatures.

Graphene could be the superconductor scientists always dreamed of

Hard Science

Scientists have produced the first graphene superconductor ever made without altering its materials by twisting two sheets of graphene at the "magic angle."

Graphene Could Be the Superconductor Scientists Always Dreamed Of

By twisting a sandwich of graphene to the "magic angle," a superconductor was born. 

"Only a very small fraction of possible 2D materials has been considered up to now."

Hundreds of 2D materials could be the next graphene

Robots & Machines

By trawling through huge databases using a special software, researchers were able to isolate hundreds of materials with graphene-like properties.

A new technique manipulates atoms into antiferromagnetic state.

Researchers have discovered a way to make soybean oil into the super-strong material graphene. The material has a wide variety of potential uses and can revolutionize electronics.
The material could be used to make cell phone batteries last 25 percent longer, make more effective solar cells, and even filter fuel out of air.

Scientists Have Turned Cooking Oil Into a Material 200 Times Stronger Than Steel

A cheaper way to make graphene.

By applying 4.95 million atmospheres of pressure to liquid hydrogen, Harvard physicists have claimed they were able to make it metallic, a state of hydrogen that had never existed on Earth before.
Physicists predict that metallic hydrogen is an authentic superconductor, so if stabilized, it could revolutionize everything from energy storage to rocketry.

Scientists Have Finally Created Metallic Hydrogen

Scientists just made what could be the rarest and most valuable material on the planet.

New research has shown that at low temperatures bismuth behaves as a superconductor.
The discovery could pave the way for cheaper and more widely available superconductor-based technology, such as MRIs, maglev trains, and new computing methods.

Scientists Have Discovered Superconductivity in Non-Conductive Bismuth

Bringing bismuth crystals to absolute zero temp gives it some interesting properties.

Researchers have transmitted a super-current with a net spin and an impressive strength a record-breaking distance of 600 nanometers in cryogenic conditions.
If we can figure out how to pass a super-current with a net spin through a superconductor at room temperature, we would have immense computing power requiring very little energy.

Researchers Transmit “Super-Current” at Record Distance

Small particles, giant leap towards superconductive quantum devices.

There's a long way to go before this technique is used commercially, but it's a promising step towards developing cheaper and better superconducting materials in the future.
The work could ultimately be used for super-fast, frictionless transport systems and also make our electricity grids a whole lot more efficient.
