Penn State scientists have unveiled a new theory-driven method to predict superconductors, offering a possible path toward ...

Urbana, IL--Forty-five years after superconductivity was first discovered in metals, the physics giving rise to it was finally explained in 1957 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in ...

Electricity is the lifeblood of modern life, but even the most efficient power lines lose energy along the way. For decades, ...

Penn State scientists have devised a new method to predict superconducting materials that could work at higher temperatures.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA. — Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn ...

Never say never - or for that matter, "insoluble." That's the philosophy of Professor of Physics Leon Cooper, whose theory of superconductivity - once thought to be an insoluble, or impossible to ...

It is fifty years since John Bardeen, Leon Cooper and Bob Schrieffer presented the microscopic theory of superconductivity. At a wonderful conference in Urbana the 'good old days' were remembered, and ...

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new ...

A team of theoretical physicists has for the first time exactly solved a representative model of the cuprate problem, the 1992 Hatsugai-Kohmoto (HK) model of a doped Mott insulator. Forty-five years ...
