Superconductors by Design: Argonne Scientists Rewrite the Rules of Discovery

Many breakthrough materials have been found by accident. The first superconductor, for example, was discovered while researchers were looking for something else. A superconductor is a class of material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, meaning electricity can flow without losing energy as heat. That kind of efficiency could transform everyday technology. Much of modern life depends on moving electrical energy from point A to poin
