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.

A new driven-dissipative protocol achieves superconductivity in two-dimensional moiré heterostructures, bypassing the need for enhanced attraction.

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.

The discovery that superconducting circuits can behave like quantum particles was a revolutionary development in the field of quantum technologies.

Graphene is superstrong and superconductive, and it has applications in everything from construction to electronics. But to date there have been almost no commercial uses of the material.

Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together at low temperatures, forming so-called Cooper pairs. Yet some materials, referred to as unconventional superconductors, exhibit superconductivity under unusual conditions and…
