A world-first one-way superconductor could make computers 400 times faster
The novel one-way superconductor that can operate at extremely cold temperatures will highly like to be able to "revolutionize centralized and supercomputing".
In a world-first, a team of researchers from TU Delft demonstrated a one-way superconductor with zero resistance that blocks any current coming in the opposite direction. The discovery could enable massive energy savings while making computers up to 400 times faster, according to a report in SciTech Daily. Associate professor Mazhar Ali and a team at TU Delft published their new research in the journal Nature, outlining how their work on superconducting diodes could vastly boost the field of computing. Superconductors have the potential to make electronic devices hundreds of times faster…
