The discovery of the extremely high superconducting temperature (Tc) of ~200 K reported in the sulfur hydride system above 100 GPa, has broken the high-temperature superconductivity record for the ...

Researchers have synthesized a conducting polymer, polyaniline, exhibiting perfect diamagnetic properties, which eliminate external magnetic fields within the material. These properties are typically ...

On May 24, three days after posting a revised article in arXiv, a pre-print repository, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, have shared a video that shows clear ...

It’s true! We’ll explain how and why grapes can be shoved around with a magnet — at least under the right circumstances — and why the phenomenon behind it is helping physicists levitate things. Here’s ...

IN a letter to NATURE of June 24 (p. 516) Dr. J. R. Ashworth has pointed out a possible origin of the diamagnetism of hydrogen by assuming oscillations or rotations of Bohr's paramagnetic hydrogen ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Conducting polymers exhibit a variety of properties in addition to their conductivity. Research has explored their use in light-emitting devices, electromagnetic wave shielding, and ...
