Now at last researchers have deciphered the cryptic structure of one class of the superconductors, providing a basis for theories about how they manage to transport electricity with perfect efficiency when cooled, and how scientists might raise their operating temperature closer to the climes of everyday life.<br></a><br><a href="http://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20140430-decoding-the-secrets-of-superconductivity/">READ MORE ON QUANTA MAGAZINE</a>
