2.5 MILLION ERC ADVANCED GRANT TO STUDY SUPERCONDUCTIVITY UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
Nigel Hussey, HFML Nijmegen.Experimental physicist Nigel Hussey has received a prestigious € 2.5 million grant from the European Research Council (ERC) to study the flow of charge in exotic metals and superconductors under extreme conditions. The ultimate goal is to understand superconductivity and create a pathway towards room-temperature superconductors.Hussey: ”This is very challenging. We want to understand how superconductivity works, but nature keeps playing games with us. In order to understand a superconductor, you also need to destroy it and here at our EMFL facility in Nijmegen we use extreme conditions to study the behavior of electrons in the [...]
