Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”
Scientists have found that quantum fluctuations in what was previously considered empty space can enhance superconductivity, increasing the transition temperature of an ultrathin material by up to 5.4%. This discovery suggests new ways to control quantum materials using engineered vacuum environments without direct contact or external forces.
