An international team of researchers has demonstrated a new way to discover superconductors much faster by combining machine learning with advanced quantum physics. The approach allows scientists to sift through an almost limitless number of possible material combinations and pinpoint the most promising candidates for superconductivity.
The breakthrough, led by the SuperC consortium, has already resulted in the discovery of two new superconducting materials. According to Aalto University Professor Päivi Törmä, who leads the collaboration, the method could significantly accelerate the search for new superconductors.
