Spectroscopies in Novel Superconductors 2026

About the conference

SNS 2026 will follow a successful series of international conferences in  Argonne (1991), Sendai (1992), Santa Fe (1993), Stanford (1995), Cape  Cod (1997), Chicago (2001), Sitges (2004), Sendai (2007), Shanghai  (2010), Berkeley (2013), Stuttgart (2016), Tokyo (2019), Bangalore  (2022). The meeting will bring leading experts in spectroscopy,  transport, materials discovery, and theory will meet to address current  key challenges in the frontier of superconductivity research. Highlights  to be discussed include cuprates, heavy fermions, iron-based  superconductors, nickelates, topological superconductivity,  superconductivity in twisted quantum materials, strongly correlated  electron theory and approaches. We will also highlight insights from  gleaned from new experimental methods and experiments under extreme  conditions (low temperature, high magnetic field, high pressure, and  high laser field) and perspectives for the discovery and design of new  superconductors with higher transition temperatures.

The conference will take place over five days and offers a full program of talks, poster sessions, networking opportunities and social events. 

All presenters must register to attend.
