Every once in a while, we all need a good reminder that electromagnetism is mind-boggling. Thankfully, in its latest video, the YouTube channel The Action Lab offers a stellar nod to the force of ...
This has been a landmark summer in the world of “floaty rock drama.” Two weeks ago, in a pair of draft papers that have not been peer-reviewed, scientists in South Korea claimed to have found a ...
In recent months, several academic groups have claimed possible discoveries of materials that super-conduct at room temperature. Outside researchers, however, are skeptical. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: LK ...
Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon in which certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields below a characteristic temperature, known as the critical ...
Some researchers in Korea have made an extraordinary claim that they’ve developed a superconductor that works at room temperature and pressure. It’s getting a lot of attention — and skepticism. A room ...
Student George Rosales watches as magnets are used to pick up a superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen during a quantum physics summer camp at Martin High School in Arlington on Monday, June 26, ...
