Research on novel titanate superconductor gains media attention

Recent work in the Billinge group on a new family of superconductors, published here in Nature Communications, has been highlighted by Brookhaven National Lab and the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science (see press release here). Superconductivity refers to the ability of certain materials to conduct electricity without any energy loss, and the… Read More Research on novel titanate superconductor gains media attention

New connections among titanate, cuprate, and iron-pnictide superconductors

High-temperature superconductivity remains one of the biggest current challenges in condensed matter physics, even while the prospect of room-temperature superconductivity holds enormous potential as a transformative breakthrough in energy technology. In recent years, it has been found that unusual electronic states that break subtle symmetries of the crystal lattice are often found in close proximity to the… Read More New connections among titanate, cuprate, and iron-pnictide superconductors
