An international research team including Finland’s Aalto University used
artificial intelligence to identify two new superconducting materials, Aalto
said; results were published in Physical Review Research. The team said
AI-enabled screening can speed development of new superconductors and aid the
search for materials that might operate at or near room temperature.
Superconductors exhibit zero electrical resistance under specific quantum
conditions and have potential applications in quantum computing, neuroimaging,
nuclear fusion devices, maglev transport, data centers and power transmission.
