New Material May Reveal Inner Workings of Hi-Temp Superconductors

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 - 16:35 in Physics & Chemistry

Measurements taken at NIST may help physicists develop a clearer understanding of high-temperature superconductors, whose behavior remains in many ways mysterious decades after their discovery. A new copper-based compound exhibits properties never before seen in a superconductor and could be a step toward solving part of the mystery.
