New Superconductor Found "Immune To Magnetism"

Posted by kdawson on from the north-south-it's-all-the-same-to-me dept.

Lisandro sends in news that testing of the new class of superconductors we discussed a while back (compounds of iron, lanthanum, and rare earths) has turned up a major surprise: magnetism doesn't shut off the superconducting state. Magnetic fields represent one of three factors that limit expanded applications for superconductors (the others are current density and temperature dependence.) The research will appear in Nature; here's a preprint (PDF).

    If that was an attempt at first post, you failed.
