Majlis Gemilang Putra 2022
Majlis Gemilang Putra 2022 was held at the PKKSSAAS UPM Great Hall. Big congratulations to our lab member, Assoc. Prof. Dr Mohd Mustafa Awang Kechik for receiving the "Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang" award. Congratulations are also extended to our lab member, Madam Nik Afida Anis Binti Azahari on receiving the “Anugerah Jasa Putra” and “Anugerah Perkhidmatan Cemerlang” awards.
Scientists combine a semiconductor and superconductor for the first time
Physicists in Switzerland managed to arrange an unholy matrimony between an ultrathin semiconductor and an ultra-chilled superconductor. The resulting device allows for peculiar physical phenomena to form that may prove useful in manufacturing novel electronic and optical machines such as quantum computers.
CONGRATULATIONS UPM!
Congratulations!
Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) has strengthened its ranking by achieving the position of being in the top 143 universities in the world and second in Malaysia in the QS World University Rankings 2022 announced today.
Researchers Synthesize Room Temperature Superconducting Material
Compressing simple molecular solids with hydrogen at extremely high pressures, UniverZsity of Rochester engineers and physicists have, for the first time, created material that is superconducting at room temperature.
Researchers Detect a Supercurrent at The Edge of a Superconductor With a Topological Twist
A discovery that long eluded physicists have been detected in a laboratory at Princeton. A team of physicists detected superconducting currents—the flow of electrons without wasting energy—along the exterior edge of a superconducting material.
Superconductors From Outer Space
For the first time, researchers have confirmed the presence of superconducting materials in meteorites, a result that may have implications for astrophysicists’ understanding of planetary formation.

The Nickel Age of Superconductivity: It’s Hydrogen’s Fault
Last summer, a new age for high-temperature superconductivity was proclaimed — the nickel age. It was discovered that there are promising superconductors in a special class of materials, the so-called nickelates, which can conduct electric current without any resistance even at high temperatures.
New Measuring Method Helps Understand Physics of High-Temperature Superconductivity
From sustainable energy to quantum computers: high-temperature superconductors have the potential to revolutionize today's technologies. Despite intensive research, however, we still lack the necessary basic understanding to develop these complex materials for widespread application.
VOICE: Hear the voice of SCMaglev passengers
Developed by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) over 50+ years, the SCMAGLEV train is a very real and truly transformational transportation technology. The SCMAGLEV has travelled hundreds of thousands of miles in its development on a 27 mile long track. This track represents the initial segment of a 220 mile line under current construction in Japan between Tokyo and Nagoya, and will eventually extend on to Osaka. The current SCMAGLEV train, known as the L0 (L-zero) holds the Guinness record for the world’s fastest maglev train – clocking in at 374.68 mph (603 km/h)!
A scientist from the Division of Quantum Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Tsukuba has formulated a new theory of superconductivity. Based on the calculation of the 'Berry connection', this model helps explain new experimental results better than the current theory. The work may allow future electrical grids to send energy without losses.
