The commercialization of superconductors may still be some ways away, but four decades of research have changed the quantum world into something that is likely over time to make immense changes to the lives we lead.
Electrons find each other repulsive. Nothing personal – it’s just that their negative charges repel each other. So getting them to pair up and travel together, like they do in superconducting mate .
Scientists embedded elementary particles called muons into a nickel oxide superconductor to learn more about its magnetic properties. They discovered very diffe
