Physics:Uranium ditelluride

From HandWiki

Uranium ditelluride, (UTe2), an unconventional superconductor, discovered to be a superconductor in 2018.[1]

Superconductivity in UTe2 appears to be a consequence of triplet electrons spin-pairing.[2] The material acts as a topological superconductor, stably conducting electricity without resistance even in high magnetic fields.[1]
