Josephson junctions are quantum mechanical devices consisting of two superconductors separated by a thin insulating barrier. They are named after Brian Josephson, who predicted their unique properties ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in ...

A technical paper titled “Josephson transistor from the superconducting diode effect in domain wall and skyrmion magnetic racetracks” was published by researchers at University of Basel. “In ...

Figure 1 Schematic diagrams of two superconducting flux qubit circuits. The conventional qubit (a) requires an external magnetic field to operate optimally, while the new flux qubit (b), using a ...

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 ...
