New Superconductive Materials Have Just Been Discovered

The Dutch scientist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes first saw electrical resistance vanish in 1911 .

The phenomenon requires electrons to pair up, so how can they be united? Then there’s the technological promise: Already, superconductivity has enabled the development of MRI machines and particle colliders.

Researchers had already been dabbling with 2D materials and finding diverse behaviors.

By applying electric fields, they could add electrons to the sheet or make the electrons feel almost as if the atomic grid were contracting.

Twiddling these settings in a single 2D device could reproduce the behavior of thousands to millions of potential materials.

A Cornell University team recently discovered an unusual sort of superconductivity in a TMD device.

The Cornell group added electrons to an antiferromagnetic metal and added nothing to the material.

The result doesn’t neatly fit any popular theory of supercondivity.
