superconductors

New measurements of nickelate superconductors reveal clues about their hidden electronic behavior. The mechanism behind high-temperature (TC) superconductivity remains one of condensed matter physics’ major unsolved problems. Chinese researchers have now made important progress in studying high-TC nickelate superconductors. For the first time, scientists identified a nodeless superconducting gap …

This paper proposes an auditable effective scaling law for condensed-matter physics within AQM: macroscopic condensation coherence in a material is not de termined solely by the pairing scale, but by the product of a basic pairing tem perature scale and the AQM coherence protection factor. The factor is ΠAQM = C 2.18(Eeff/E0) 1/2 (1 − δ), where C is topological-orbital coherence, Eeff is effectiv…

The Sovereign CMEC-96(PATENT PENDING): A Continuous Magnetic Energy Converter and Zero-Emission, Utility-Scale Baseload Power Refinery The present invention relates generally to advanced, zero-emission power generation and thermodynamic energy recovery systems. More specifically, it relates to a continuous magnetic energy converter engineered to serve as a direct, decentralized replacement for tr…

Three independently discovered collapse phenomena — in monadic model theory, categorical semantics, and topos theory — share a common fibered descent structure. In each case, target content is constrained to a canonically determined admissible region computed from a source, and collapse occurs when the source is informationally trivial. We identify two modes of canonical admissibility: a reflecti…

Nature Physics, Published online: 21 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41567-026-03286-4 The potential similarities in the superconductivity in nickelates and cuprates is a topic of debate. Now a distinct likeness is observed in the electronic properties of these materials, which hints that the microscopic mechanisms may be related.

Researchers have built an ultra-sensitive sensor capable of detecting unimaginably small amounts of energy — below one zeptojoule. The breakthrough relies on fragile superconducting materials that react to even the slightest temperature change. This level of precision could improve quantum computers, enable photon counting, and even help scientists detect elusive dark matter particles from space.

Abstract Sb 2 Se 3 has established itself as a leading phase-change material for reconfigurable photonics, exhibiting broadband transparency and reversible optical transitions. However, previous metasurface implementations remain constrained by offline thermal or optical control mechanisms. We develop an electrically driven platform featuring monolithic integration of Sb 2 Se 3 nanostructures wit…

Nature Communications, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-73083-3 The authors report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of superconducting Sm-based infinite-layer nickelate thin films. Despite the two-fold enhancement of Tc in the Sm-based nickelates compared to their Pr-based counterparts, they find that the effective in-plane exchange coupling strength is reduced by …
