Iron secrets behind superconductors unlocked
Due to magnetism iron should – theoretically – be a poor superconductor. Nevertheless certain ironbased materials possess fine superconducting properties. Why? Because the five unbound electrons found in iron – as a result of individual modes of operation, it turns out – facilitate superconductivity. This new, long sought-for explanation – appearing in this weeks issue Read more about Iron secrets behind superconductors unlocked[…]
