Researchers Reveal ‘Intercrystal’ Materials with Breakthrough Electronic Properties
Berkeley, California, USA: Scientists have discovered “intercrystals,” a novel class of materials featuring interlocking crystal networks that exhibit unusual conductivity and superconducting properties. Early lab results show near-zero resistance at –100°C, sparking excitement about the possibility of room-temperature superconductors in the future. Researchers achieved the breakthrough under extreme pressures, blending incompatible elements into stable hybrid lattices. Potential applications include quantum computing, power transmission, and advanced solar cells—though mass production remains a challenge.
