Nanoscale ridges in a substrate add 15 K and 50 Tesla to a superconductor’s limits

Nanoscale ridges in a substrate add 15 K and 50 Tesla to a superconductor’s limits

Superconducting materials can carry electricity with zero resistance, but two persistent problems have kept them out of most real-world electronics: they need to be cooled to extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields tend to destroy the superconducting state. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology report a new material design strategy that pushes back on both… The post Nanoscale ridges in a substrate add 15 K and 50 Tesla to a s…
