Uncovering the Superconducting Potential of Quasicrystals: Physicists Make Breakthrough Discovery
It’s one of the most exciting discoveries in physics in recent years: researchers have managed to coax superconductivity out of quasicrystals, materials that have long been thought to be incompatible with the phenomenon. In a new study, physicists from the University of Heidelberg, together with colleagues from France, the Netherlands, and China, showed that superconductivity can be induced in quasicrystals by applying pressure. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, have opened up the possibility of exploring new ways of controlling superconductivity.
