Physicists from UNLV and the University of Rochester announced a major discovery on Wednesday.

With ballots arriving in the mail and early voting starting this weekend people across Nevada will need to dig into some voter guides.

It is superconducting, which means electrical current flows through it with perfect efficiency - with no energy wasted as heat.

Las Vegas will host an NCAA Tournament men's basketball regional for the first time after the NCAA changed a policy that prevented states with sports wagering from hosting championships.

Compressing simple molecular solids with hydrogen at extremely high pressures, University of Rochester engineers and physicists have, for the first time, created material that is superconducting at room temperature.

In the period after the discovery of high-temperature superconductors, there wasn't a good conceptual understanding of why those compounds worked. While there was a burst of progress toward higher temperatures, it quickly ground to a halt, largely because it was fueled by trial and error. Recent years brought a better understanding of the mechanisms that enable superconductivity, and we're seeing a second burst of rapidly rising temperatures.
