Room temperature superconductivity has become the tireless pursuit of scientists due to its epoch-making significance. Inspired by the recently predicted high superconductivity in LiPH, we identify a new superconductor MgPH by substituting Li with Mg and prove its stability. The superconducting critical temperature ( ) and electron-phonon coupling (EPC) parameters () of MgPH under 280 GPa are predicted to be ∼166 K and ∼1.65, respectively; the high superconductivity of MgPH mainly arises from the strong electron-phonon interaction between H 1 electrons and the H-associated vibration. Furthermore, in hydrogen-based superconductors, the hydrogen sublattice will gain more electrons by doping extra metal atoms or replacing the original metals with higher valence electrons metals. However, if these electrons do not form newly occupied states on the hydrogen energy level near the Fermi level, the superconductivity will not improve further. Our findings provide clues for designing and modulating the superconductivity.

The emergence of superconductivity in the octahedrally coordinated (1T) phase of TaS is preceded by the loss of long-range order in the charge density wave (CDW). Such decoherence triggers the formation of nm-sized coherent CDW domains bound by a domain wall network, known as the mosaic phase, and proposed as the spatial origin of superconductivity. Here, we report the atomic-scale characterization of superconductivity in 1T-TaSSe, a model 1T compound exhibiting the CDW mosaic phase, using high-resolution scanning tunneling spectroscopy and Andreev spectroscopy.

Transition metal dichalcogenides display a high technological potential due to their wide range of electronic ground states. Here, we unveil that by tuning hydrostatic pressure P, a cascade of electronic phase transitions can be induced in the few-layer transition metal dichalcogenide 1T'-WS. As P increases, we observe the suppression of superconductivity with the concomitant emergence of an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) at GPa.

Due to stringent thermal budgets in cryogenic technologies such as superconducting quantum computers and sensors, electronic building blocks that simultaneously offer low energy consumption, fast switching, low error rates, a small footprint, and simple fabrication are pivotal for large-scale devices. Here, we demonstrate a superconducting switch with attojoule switching energy, high speed (pico-second rise/fall times), and high integration density (on the order of 10 μm per switch). It consists of a superconducting nanochannel and a metal heater separated by an insulating silica layer.
