Associate professor Mazhar Ali and his research group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was thought to be impossible ever since its discovery in 1911 – until now. The discovery, published in the journal Natu

The biggest challenge with super conductors seems to be their operating temperatures.  I always find it strange that the preamble talks about replacing all ICs with Super Conductors, and then in the detail say the next step is to get them working at temperatures above 77k.

They believe they have found a way to make computer chips out of super conductors, which would make them much faster, and use significantly less energy.

Neat. But this type is still constrained by incredibly low temperatures?

 

Yup.  "Now we want to work with the known so-called “High Tc Superconductors”, and see whether we can operate Josephson diodes at temperatures above 77 K, since this will allow for liquid nitrogen cooling. "

77 K =-196 C = -321 F
