Unveiling the Secrets of High-Temperature Superconductors
Researchers at Harvard University have developed a new method for creating and manipulating higher-temperature superconductors called cuprates. Using a low-temperature device fabrication technique, they have successfully engineered a high-temperature superconducting diode made from thin cuprate crystals. This breakthrough could have implications for industries like quantum computing, which rely on sustained mechanical phenomena. The team achieved this by creating a clean interface between two layers of cuprate crystals and demonstrated electronic control over the interfacial quantum state. This research opens doors for further exploration of exotic materials and topological phases.
