Breakthrough Superconducting Devices With High Temperature Superconductors

Kim, Harvard, and his fellow researchers have a promising candidate for the world's first high-temperature, superconducting diode-essentially, a switch that makes current flow in one direction-made out of thin cuprate crystals. This would be the first superconducting switch made using higher temperature cuprate superconductors instead of lower temperature and more expensive superconductors. The team's experiments ...
