It conveys electricity in the climate of a crisp fall day, but only under pressures comparable to what you’d find closer to Earth’s core. By Kenneth Chang For decades, physicists have dreamed of ...

Waste heat is all around you. On a small scale, if your phone or laptop feels warm, that’s because some of the energy powering the device is being transformed into unwanted heat. On a larger scale, ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...
