Physicists Just Set a New World Record For Superconductors

2+ week, 4+ day ago   (637+ words) Superconductive materials could revolutionize electronics – if only they weren't so fussy. Coaxing materials into this state, where electrical currents flow freely with no resistance at all, requires either extremely low temperatures or extremely high pressures, or both. That means that…...
