One step closer to a new kind of computer
Moscow, Russia (SPX) Sep 16, 2015
An international group of physicists, including Aleksandr Golubov, head of the MIPT Laboratory of Topological Quantum Phenomena in Superconductor Systems, recently presented results of experiments testing a new phenomenon in the journal Science. The results may assist scientists in the creation of an essentially new kind of electronics - Mott transition, or the transition of an insulator to a conductor. Researchers from institutions in the Netherlands, Great Britain, Italy, the USA and Russia cond ... read more
