Current Experimental Research
In 2009, experimental results have been reported claiming that magnesium diboride may fall into this new class of superconductivity. The term type-1.5 superconductor was coined for this state. Further experimental data backing this conclusion was reported in . More recent theoretical works show that the type-1.5 may be more general phenomenon because it does not require a material with two truly superconducting bands, but can also happen as a result of even very small interband proximity effect and is robust in the presence of various inter-band couplings such as interband Josephson coupling.

Famous quotes containing the words current, experimental and/or research:
“The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?””
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Philosophers of science constantly discuss theories and representation of reality, but say almost nothing about experiment, technology, or the use of knowledge to alter the world. This is odd, because ‘experimental method’ used to be just another name for scientific method.... I hope [to] initiate a Back-to-Bacon movement, in which we attend more seriously to experimental science. Experimentation has a life of its own.”
—Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
“If politics is the art of the possible, research is surely the art of the soluble. Both are immensely practical-minded affairs.”
—Peter B. Medawar (1915–1987)
