Scientists Engineer Superconducting Thin Films
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
One major goal on the path toward making useful superconducting devices has been engineering materials that act as superconductors at the nanoscale. Such nanoscale superconductors would be useful in devices such as superconductive transistors and eventually in ultrafast, power-saving electronics.
In the October 9, 2008, issue of Nature, scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory report that they have successfully produced two-layer thin films where neither layer is superconducting on its own,
