How one UIC student is proposing to advance science of superconductivity
Thursday, November 14, 2024
New materials designed by a University of Illinois Chicago graduate student may help scientists meet one of today’s biggest challenges: building superconductors that operate at normal temperatures and pressures. Superconductors are used widely…
Effect of increasing pressure on electron localization in the body-centered cubic structure (top) and face-centered cubic structure (lower) of elemental sodium from 0 to 110 GPa (effectively 1 atmosphere to 1.1 million atmospheres). The electronic changes drive the formation of more complex structures under pressure in this and other elements.
