Scientists design new class of copper-free high-temperature superconductors

SMRTR summary

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a new high-temperature superconducting material without copper. The nickel-oxide compound "(Sm-Eu-Ca)NiO₂" conducts electricity with zero resistance at -233°C under normal pressure, a significant breakthrough since the discovery of cuprates in 1987.
