Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”
Scientists have found a way to make superconductors stronger by harnessing random fluctuations in empty space, increasing their performance. This breakthrough uses the properties of vacuum to manipulate superconductivity without physical contact. The development has the potential to improve the functioning of certain materials.
Why it's good news: It could lead to more efficient and effective use of cutting-edge technologies.
The science section covers breakthroughs in medicine, physics, biology, and technology.
