A team of physicists from the University of Washington and the US Department of Energy (DOE) appears to have discovered a new, controlled form of superconductivity in an exotic crystal-like material.


U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and new exotic, crystal-like material:

A group of physicists from the University of Washington and the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) have seemingly discovered a new, controllable variation of superconductivity in an exotic, crystal-like material. Its superconductivity can be modulated according to the strain applied to it, to the point of turning it off at will. Simultaneously, they’ve apparently broken the record on how “hot” a field-effect superconductor can be before it loses its ability to conduct electricity, absent any resistance.
