Superconductivity & Magnetism Co-exists - A Never Seen Before Property Revealed

By the time I am writing this, none of the professors or teachers will believe if anyone says to them that there is a material which has both the properties of superconductivity and magnetism at a time. They will also be found ready to argue with a bunch of physics laws and phenomenon’s support to prove that the superconductivity and magnetism can never co-exist.

Because “Superconducting materials, which conduct electricity at zero resistance with zero percent loss of electricity, normally expel any magnetic field that comes near them”, is what that is taught from high school, but it is not a true statement anymore.

A new discovery was made by researchers at the Stanford Institute for Materials and Energy Science (SIMES), a joint institute of the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University, according to which there is a physical existence of materials that have both magnetism and superconductivity. Unfortunately they cannot prove this existence theoretically, as “Our future measurements will indicate whether they’re fighting one another or helping one another,” said by Kathryn A. “Kam” Moler, the SLAC/Stanford researcher who led the imaging studies.



Independently, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also confirmed the existence of this strange property using an alternative means of measurement. This strange phenomenon was actually discovered when scientists at SIMES sandwiched two nonmagnetic insulators together while researching to develop a potentially new form of computing memory for storage and processing.

“Modern technology gives us the amazing ability to grow materials atomic layer by atomic layer,” said Moler. “The message of our work is that by doing so we can create new materials with surprising new properties.”
