This study shows that the superconducting edge currents in the topological material molybdenum telluride (MoTe2) can sustain big changes in the “glue” that keeps the superconducting electrons paired. This is important because electrons pairing up is what makes electricity flow freely in a superconductor.

Researchers at the University of Cologne have achieved a significant breakthrough in quantum materials, potentially setting the stage for advancements in topological superconductivity and robust quantum computing / publication in ‘Nature Physics’.

In a significant development in the field of superconductivity, researchers at The University of Manchester have successfully achieved robust superconductivity in high magnetic fields using a newly created one-dimensional (1D) system. This breakthrough offers a promising pathway to achieving superconductivity in the quantum Hall regime, a longstanding challenge in condensed matter physics.
