Can manipulating superconductivity without adding energy be achieved through careful electromagnetic design? New theoretical work demonstrates a one percent increase in superconducting transition temperature by coupling a two-dimensional superconductor to a terahertz resonator, ten times greater than previous analyses that ignored key material properties. This suggests a path toward controlling quantum materials passively, without external driving or heat generation.
Researchers Boost Superconductor Transition Temp by 1%
Can manipulating superconductivity *without* adding energy be achieved through careful electromagnetic design? New theoretical work demonstrates a one percent increase in superconducting transition temperature by coupling a two-dimensional superconductor to a terahertz resonator, ten times greater than previous analyses that ignored key material properties. This suggests a path toward controlling quantum materials passively, without external driving or heat generation.
