Yet, in 1986, physicists found a copper-based material, called a cuprate, which becomes a superconductor at a much warmer (but still very cold) minus 211 F (minus 135 C).

UC Davis physicist Inna Vishik was recently awarded a $1.25 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to pursue her work on cuprate superconductors, materials based on copper. (Getty ...

Unconventional superconductors -- such as the copper oxide material, or cuprate, in the current study -- work at significantly higher temperatures, sometimes up to 130 Kelvin. In cuprates ...

Diagonal hopping by electrons explains superconductivity in cuprate ‘high-temperature’ superconductors, according to researchers associated with the Flatiron Institute in New York. The team used a ...

A large portion of the scientific community and public have turned against LK99. A room temperature superconductor is VERY hard work. The original cuprate superconductors had difficult replication ...
