Scientists at University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland have developed a powerful new tool for finding the next generation of ...

Magnesium diboride (MgB2) becomes superconducting at 39 degrees Kelvin, one of the highest known transition temperatures (Tc) of any superconductor ... Schrieffer (BCS) theory to examine the ...

and high-temperature superconductors (HTS), or unconventional superconductors. LTS can be described by the BCS theory to explain how the electrons form Cooper pairs, while HTS use other ...

In an isolated atom, electrons occupy orbitals ... provide new principles for revising the BCS theory and for accelerating the discovery of superconductors that can operate at high temperatures.

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity without any resistance. In the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory of superconductivity, the transition to resistance-free current flow occurs ...

Since their first discovery in 1911, superconductors — materials which ... in 1957 under the name of the Nobel Prize winning “BCS theory”. Named after its discoverers John Bardeen, Leon ...

What’s more, the theory behind why most superconductors work (“BCS theory,” an initialism of the last names of the physicists behind it) is strikingly simple and elegant. “It’s one of ...

To tackle this problem, researchers have now successfully designed superconductors one atom at a time ... which have so far only been predicted in theory. Researchers go to great lengths and ...

Princeton physicists have discovered an abrupt change in quantum behavior while experimenting with a three-atom ... The BKT theory is widely regarded as a successful description of how quantum ...
