(Phys.org)—It was an impressive week for researchers combining physics and engineering as one team of engineers took a big step toward using light instead of wires inside computers—they've created a prism-like device ...
Superconductivity is a remarkable phenomenon: superconductors can transport electric current without any resistance and thus without any losses whatsoever. It is already in use in some niche areas, for example as magnets ...
