#Superconductivity Enhanced by Electron Variations

Variations in the distribution of electron charge in superconductors could be the key to their resistance-less conduction of electricity. Look for advances in superconductivity over the rest of the decade. RColinJohnson @NextGenLog



Here is what EETimes says about superconductivity: Room-temperature superconductivity has been a research goal since resistance-less conduction of electricity was discovered in 1911. Unfortunately, researchers have yet to find a theoretical framework for explaining why some materials exhibit superconductivity at higher temperatures than others. Now, the Energy Department's Oak Ridge National Laboratory claims to have discovered a theoretical explanation for why some materials have been found experimentally to superconduct at higher temperatures than others, opening the door to crafting designer materials that superconduct at room temperature...
