Laser writing creates nanoscale patterns of superconductivity

A laser can draw superconductivity at the nanoscale

Researchers from ICMAB-CSIC, the Politecnico di Milano and Université de Liège have adapted a direct laser writing technique that allows them to “draw” superconducting properties in a material. The result is a new way to locally program the behavior of a superconductor, tuning it from a fully superconducting state to an insulating one with extraordinary […]

Laser writing creates nanoscale patterns of superconductivity

A focused laser precisely controls oxygen levels in superconducting thin films, creating adjacent superconducting and insulating regions for potential quantum devices and advanced electronics.
