Breakthrough Technique Reveals Atomic Secrets of Record-Breaking Superconductors

An international team including HZDR researchers achieved the first meaningful NMR measurements on lanthanum superhydrides under extreme pressure.

They used microscale Lenz lenses inside a diamond anvil cell to concentrate radio-frequency fields and make the signal detectable.

The result opens a new way to study superhydrides at the atomic level under extreme conditions.

That could accelerate the search for practical high-temperature superconductors.
