Superconductors are perfect conductors with zero resistance. They can carry currents without loss of electrical energy as waste heat.
Most materials however become superconducting only at very low temperatures, requiring expensive cooling. Northeastern University Prof. Arun Bansil and his team have discovered new clues toward unraveling how superconductivity can remain intact at higher temperatures.
Bansil’s research on high-temperature superconductors was published in the May 6 issue of the journal Science.
