A hidden rivalry between two quantum states at the heart of superconductors
Transmitting electricity without losing any energy may sound impossible, yet this is precisely the promise of superconductivity.
AI Summary
Scientists have studied materials that conduct electricity without resistance for almost four decades, focusing on those that work at relatively high temperatures. The goal is to uncover the mechanisms that enable this superconducting behavior. Understanding these mechanisms could improve power grid efficiency, advance medical imaging technologies, and aid quantum computing development.
