Our work on superconducting bilayer nickelate thin films is now published in Nature Materials. In this study, we cooked up a recipe for high-quality superconducting bilayer nickelate thin films and uncover transport behavior similar to what's seen in overdoped cuprates.

Our latest work is now out in JACS. We uncover that metal hydrides owe their strong reducing power not just to hydrogen gas generation, but also to their crucial ability to remove moisture during oxide reduction.

Clear signatures of superconductivity with onset higher than 42 K have been observed for the first time in a compressively strained bilayer nickelate thin film at ambient pressure. The low zero-resistance temperature (~2 K) and weak diamagnetic response underscore the challenges in stabilizing this new superconductor, yet this discovery marks a significant step toward realizing ambient-pressure superconductivity in d⁷‧⁵ nickelates. Check out our exciting discovery now published in Nature. An associated press release is available here.
