Josephson junction is a fundamental component for exploring the exotic properties of superconducting materials and serves as a critical building block for future quantum computing. When biased with a ...

An experimental discovery of a fundamental physical phenomenon is not something that happens often. Yet this is what Skoltech researchers and their European colleagues recently managed to do: In their ...

Atomic-scale mechanical motions in nanowires can be excited by high-frequency alternating superconducting Josephson currents. In niobium dimer nanowires three vibrational modes were experimentally ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Josephson devices exploit the quantum mechanical tunnelling of Cooper pairs across a superconducting junction to generate voltage steps that are directly linked to fundamental constants. Since the ...
