Scandium's electrons may explain predicted room-temperature superconductivity
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a predicted room temperature superconductor, while explaining the microscopic mechanism that distinguishes it from a similar one discovered several years ago.
Summary
Scientists have confirmed the existence of a predicted room temperature superconductor, while explaining the microscopic mechanism that distinguishes it from a similar one discovered several years ago. The work, published in the journal Physical Review B , offers "a theoretical blueprint for the future design of superior superconductor hydrides" the physicists write.
