MIT’s Groundbreaking Discovery In The Intriguing World Of Superconductivity

A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study sheds surprising light on how certain superconductors undergo a ‘nematic transition’ – unlocking new, superconducting behavior. The results could help identify unconventional superconducting materials. Under certain conditions – usually exceedingly cold ones – some materials shift their structure to unlock new, superconducting behavior. This structural shift is known as a “nematic transition,” and physicists suspect that it offers a new way to…
