Research Project on Next-Generation Superconductors Starts

International research team awarded multi-million-dollar funding to develop and test next-generation superconductors through artificial intelligence and quantum geometry.

The Kavli Foundation, the Klaus Tschira Foundation and philanthropist Kevin Wells have launched a multi-million-dollar initiative to develop next-generation superconducting materials. An international team of scientists, including Prof. Dr. Miquel Marques from Ruhr University Bochum, will use AI to predict and refine materials with revolutionary superconducting properties based on quantum geometry. The project aims to discover and synthesize 3D materials that achieve high electron densities, essential for superconductivity at elevated temperatures. By integrating AI and machine learning, researchers will accelerate material selection and optimization, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in superconductivity.
