Abstract
Superconductivity—the complete disappearance of electrical resistance in materials when they are cooled below a critical temperature (Tc)—has fascinated scientists for more than a century. Raising Tc remains one of the greatest scientific challenges of the 21st century. Hideki Yamamoto, a senior distinguished researcher at NTT Basic Research Laboratories, is tackling this challenge by creating novel superconductors through NTT’s world-leading thin-film synthesis technologies. Together with his colleagues, he is pursuing the discovery of unprecedented high-temperature superconductors and uncovering the fundamental mechanisms behind their remarkable properties. Their work could pave the way toward a carbon-neutral future.
