Scientists explain the low-temperature anomaly in superconductorsAn international group of scientists, including a researcher from Skoltech, has completed an experimental and theoretical study into the properties displayed by strongly disordered superconductors at very low temperatures. Following a series of experiments, the scientists developed a theory that effectively describes the previously inexplicable anomalies encountered in superconductors. The results of the study were published in Nature Physics.The phenomenon of superconductivity was discovered in 1911 by a group of scientists led by Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. Superconductivity means complete disappearance of electrical resistance in a material when it is cooled down to a specific temperature, resulting in the magnetic field being forced out from the material. Of particular interest to scientists are strongly disordered superconductors whose atoms do not form crystal lattices. From a practical standpoint, strongly disordered superconductors hold great potential for quantum computer development.Read more. -- source link
