‘Magic’ Twist In Stacked Graphene Reveals Potentially Powerful Superconducting Behaviour
High-temperature electricity without resistance could revolutionise electronics. It could take less energy to move electric charge, meaning better-performing, more-efficient electronics that are cheaper to run. It could cut down on energy costs, and might even help researchers realise better quantum computers. Scientists have gotten a step closer with a little “magic” twist.

Scientists Created A Room Temperature Superconductor With Lasers
Superconductors are supposed to change the world. The only problem is that all of the materials we’ve used to produce need to be kept at near absolute zero temperatures in order to be superconducting. (See above.) But now, thanks to high-powered lasers, scientists successfully made a piece of ceramic superconducting at room temperature.

Why Superconductors Are Insanely Amazing
Everyone always bangs on about superconductors as if they’re some super-amazing scientific miracle, but where’s the proof, eh? Eh? Umm, here it is: check out how they compare to plain old normal conductors, and you’ll be gobsmacked.
