... new light on the connection between magnetism and superconductivity. "The exotic compounds we're studying will not become practical superconducting materials; however, by studying them we can learn ...

... is promising because it's easier to change the geometry of an island than to go out and find a new, exotic material," he added. Tringides plans further experiments using gas adsorption to test the ...

... telluride could tolerate even higher temperatures than theorists had predicted. "This means that the material is closer to application than we thought," Chen said. This magic is possible thanks to ...
