Scientists Discover Hidden Superconducting Patterns Inside Diamond

Diamond’s importance in science extends far beyond its brilliance and luxury appeal. Researchers value the material for its exceptional hardness, remarkable ability to conduct heat, and transparency across much of the light spectrum. About 20 years ago, scientists uncovered another surprising property: under specific conditions, diamond can behave as a superconductor, allowing electrical current to […]

Magnetic quantum objects in a ‘nano egg-box’

Magnetic quantum objects in superconductors, so-called “fluxons”, are particularly suitable for the storage and processing of data bits. Computer circuits based on fluxons could be operated with significantly higher speed and, at the same time, produce much less heat dissipation. Physicists around Wolfgang Lang at the University of Vienna and their colleagues at the Johannes-Kepler-University […]
