In the initial studies of a new class of high-temperature superconductors discovered earlier this year, research at the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that new iron-based superconductors share similar unusual magnetic properties with previously known superconducting copper-oxide materials.

Although it was discovered more than 20 years ago, a particular type of high-temperature (Tc) superconductor - material that conducts electricity with almost zero resistance - is regaining the attention of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory in collaboration with a physicist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong have discovered that two different physical parameters -pressure and the substitution of different isotopes of oxygen (isotopes are different forms of an element) -have a similar effect on electronic properties of mysterious materials called high-temperature superconductors.
