Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum fluctuations in supposedly empty space can strengthen superconductivity, raising the transition temperature of an ultrathin material by as much as 5.4%.

The discovery opens the possibility of using specially engineered vacuum environments to control quantum materials without direct contact or external driving.
