This Superconductor Does Not Take Light Lightly

DOE/US Department of Energy

Recently, scientists discovered a new superconducting material, a thin film of iron and selenium on an insulating layer. The combination transmits electricity without loss when cooled to 24 Kelvin (minus 416 degrees Fahrenheit). Now, scientists have found that when exposed to low-energy ultraviolet light, the material acts as a superconductor at higher temperatures.
