In a study published in Nature on Aug. 19, a research team has enhanced superconductivity through vacuum fluctuations for the first time. The achievement marks a significant advance in controlling quantum states of matter. Space free of matter is not truly empty. A vacuum is not a void. In quantum electrodynamics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle [&#8230;]

Superconductors are materials that carry electrical current with zero resistance below a specific critical temperature. In conventional superconductors, the transition to superconductivity generally occurs at very low temperatures. Some unconventional superconductors, however, enter their superconducting phase at comparatively higher critical temperatures. This could be advantageous for practical…

Researchers have shown that engineered quantum vacuum fluctuations can strengthen superconductivity, potentially offering a new way to control quantum materials and their collective behaviour directly. Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences used a terahertz split-ring resonator to engineer quantum vacuum fluctuations and strengthen the superconducting behaviour of niobium diselenide (NbSe…

Nature Communications, Published online: 22 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-77045-7 Point-contact spectroscopy under pressure reveals Andreev bound states on UTe2’s (001) surface, indicating an odd-kz pz component of the superconducting order parameter. The relative weights of pz- and px/y-wave pairing distinguish its multiple pressure-tuned superconducting phases.

I must be out of it, because I thought that there had already been a definitive measurement of such spin-triplet superconductivity before this. But based on this latest report , it appears that NMR measurement of such superconductivity has not been "definitive" until now. To clarify, the Cooper pair states in most superconducting material are formed due to the pairing of electrons forming what is…

This role involves developing and scaling superconducting quantum computing systems, with a focus on measurement, calibration, and error analysis. The scientist will advance control software, perform benchmarking, and contribute to quantum error correction research within a multidisciplinary team. Work is conducted at...

Researchers have made the first definitive measurements of an elusive superconducting state.

Researchers demonstrated a light-programmable superconducting (LiPS) state at an aluminium-silicon heterojunction, controlled with laser pulses up to 8.5 K. This advances the decades-long quest for light-induced superconductivity.

Generating energy usually means wasted heat. Semiconductors let the electrons flow with zero waste – but so far scientists only know how to get them to work at ultra-low temperatures.
