Newly discovered material property may lead to high temp superconductivity

Friday, July 22, 2016 - 16:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Ames Laboratory have discovered an unusual property of purple bronze that may point to new ways to achieve high temperature superconductivity. While studying purple bronze, a molybdenum oxide, researchers discovered an unconventional charge density wave on its surface. A charge density wave (CDW) is a state of […]
