Researchers at the University of Buffalo could add a ‘superconducting’ twist to magnetic hard drives and random access memories (RAMs) after succeeding in building a Josephson junction using only one ...

Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity—a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to flow without energy ...

Superconductivity is an advantageous physical phenomenon observed in some materials, which entails an electrical resistance of zero below specific critical temperatures. This phenomenon is known to ...

Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model. (Nanowerk News) Separate two superconductors with a thin ...

The superconducting diode effect allows for nonreciprocal, dissipationless transport. It has the potential to enhance transfer current efficiency compared to the traditional semiconducting equivalent ...

Researchers demonstrate control over the Josephson diode effect in a device that connects two superconducting materials with a topological insulator. Superconductivity is usually a two-way street, but ...

This illustration shows how superconductivity from vanadium (yellow) is transformed at the magnesium oxide barrier (green), enabling iron (blue) to form same-spin electron pairs and participate in ...
