Interview with: Profs Jorge Hirsch, Brian Maple and Frank Marsiglio.
Laurie Winkless speaks to Professors Jorge Hirsch and Brian Maple from the University of California, San Diego, and Prof Frank Marsiglio from the University of Alberta; guest editors of the Physica C special issue “Superconducting Materials: Conventional, Unconventional and Undetermined” .
Turning off the superconductivity in a cuprate superconductor with light or magnetism produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics.
Combining a thin-film superconducor with a thin-film topological insulator offers a novel way to explore topological superconductivity.
A novel superconducting material is uniquely sensitive to outside stimuli, allowing its superconducting properties to be enhanced or suppressed at will.
Scientists have synthesized a novel form of titanium nitride, called titanic nitride, which has promising mechanical and optoelectronic properties.
A thin layer of fullerene molecules allows electrons to travel further than previously thought possible in organic solar cells and organic semiconductors.
Scientists have developed a fast, non-destructive optical method for analyzing defects in 2D materials
