Physicist Elena Hassinger has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant for her research on superconductors. Hassinger is part of the Würzburg-Dresden Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat.
The research conducted by Elena Hassinger, an expert in low-temperature physics working at the cluster of excellence ct.qmat (Complexity and Topology in Quantum Matter), a joined initiative of the Universities of Dresden and Würzburg (JMU), has always been synonymous with extreme cold. In 2021, she discovered the unconventional superconductor cerium-rhodium-arsenic (CeRh2As2). Superconductors normally have just one phase of resistance-free electron transport, which occurs below a certain critical temperature. ...
