A sudden release of pressure allowed a copper-based compound to superconduct at the highest temperature yet for atmospheric ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only under specific conditions that researchers have struggled for decades to ...

Significant drops like the recent 10% drawdown prompt a challenging question: is this downturn fleeting, or does it indicate ...

American Superconductor (AMSC) has been drawing attention after a sharp 1 day move of 6.0%, capping a mixed stretch that includes a 12.0% gain over the past week but a 9.5% decline over the past month ...

The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...

The search for materials that can conduct electricity at room temperature without losing energy is one of the greatest and most consequential challenges of modern physics: loss-free power transmission ...

What a brutal six months it’s been for American Superconductor. The stock has dropped 34.2% and now trades at $32.16, ...

A wafer-thin layer of rust, formed naturally in air, helped researchers spot a behavior many physicists have chased for decades. That oxide, hematite (α-Fe2O3), appeared on the top layer of a stacked ...

Last month, a team of researchers claimed they’d essentially found the holy grail in the field of physics: a superconductor that can operate at ambient pressures and room temperatures. That’s a huge ...

What Happened? A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after the broader market tumbled in morning trading as ...

But the hunt for a superconductor—that is, a material that can conduct electricity without resistance—that can operate at room temperature is nothing new. A Dutch physicist discovered the phenomenon ...

A superconductor is a material that takes on some really exotic properties. When the right conditions are reached, all electrical resistance in the material suddenly vanishes and it generates a ...
