- Scientists discover a hidden flaw that challenges 40 years of superconductor science
A superconducting material studied for 40 years has turned out to be far more complex than scientists believed.

The discovery challenges decades of scientific assumptions and could explain why some superconductors outperform others. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/10/261023023731.htm

That line was tested recently at Moscow State University, where Chinese students confronted a classmate wearing Japan’s rising sun flag in class and called for his repatriation, state-run newspaper Global Times reported on Sunday.
