Study: Lasers enable superconduction at high temperature
Shining lasers at superconductors enables them to work at higher temperatures, new research led by the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter, Germany, has shown. Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity without losing power and produce strong magnetic fields, at present only work at very low temperatures and require liquid nitrogen or helium to maintain that temperature. B...
