Superconductors

Superconductivity observed in much smaller nanoparticles than previously believed possible

Thus, our result indicates that it may be possible to allow superconductivity to occur in structurally engineered nanoparticles at sizes much lower than previously imagined!

Nobel physics prize awarded to British trio for exotic matter research

British-born scientists David Thouless, Duncan Haldane and Michael Kosterlitz were awarded this year's Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for revealing the secrets of exotic matter such as superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no loss to resistance.
