Science reporters around the world are going to have a field day with the headlines today.
In a paper published today in Nature, a team of physicists have set a record for the hottest superconductor. And it smells really bad.
It has been known for many decades now that some materials, when cooled to very low temperatures, exhibit no resistance at all to electrical currents. This has many implications for technology, as no energy is wasted in the form of heat, higher currents can be achieved, an...
