Ultrafast Superconductor Memory

Paul Raven @ 20-04-2006

We always want more from our electronics – faster, cheaper, more efficient. Computer memory is no exception, so fellow technophiles will be pleased to hear that engineers at the UK’s Cambridge University have managed to make memory cells from superconductive materials, by harnessing some magnetic and quantum trickery. Devices made this way will be smaller and faster than current technology, but vastly more sensitive to magnetic fields.
