Extra Sessions Engineering applications of superconductivity COMPUTER USAGE: None PRESENTATIONS AND REPORTS : All students will present a 30-minute on an application topic for the distributed list ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have uncovered the atomic-scale mechanics that enhance superconductivity in an iron-based material, a finding published recently in Nature.

This year, superconductivity — the flow of electric current with zero resistance — was discovered in three distinct materials. Two instances stretch the textbook understanding of the phenomenon. The ...

Almost all the research so far has focused on very fast processes that may contribute to superconductivity—for instance, natural, high-frequency vibrations known as phonons that rattle a ...
