High‐Field Superconductivity

David Larbalestier, Gene Fisk, Bruce Montgomery, and David Hawksworth
OpenURL
Show Topic
Rapid strides in the development of composite superconducting materials have encouraged the widespread use of high‐field superconducting magnets in high‐energy physics, fusion and medical imaging—fulfilling Kamerlingh Onnes's 75‐year‐old vision.

SQUIDs, Brains and Gravity Waves

John Clarke
OpenURL
Show Topic
Superconducting quantum interference devices are so sensitive to magnetic flux that they can map the tiny magnetic fields emanating from the human brain and detect the submicroscopic motions of gravity‐wave detectors.

Josephson Computer Technology

Hisao Hayakawa
OpenURL
Show Topic
Recent advances on the road to superconducting computers include novel operating designs for logic and memory circuits as well as stable and reliable devices made entirely from refractory materials.

Analog Superconducting Electronics

Paul L. Richards
OpenURL
Show Topic
High‐speed analog devices that make use of the unique properties of superconducting tunnel junctions and transmission lines are finding application in microwave receivers, signal processors and voltage standards.

Novel Types of Superconductivity in F‐Electron Systems

M. Brian Maple
OpenURL
Show Topic
Compounds of rare earth and actinide elements with partially filled f‐electron shells show superconductivity induced by magnetic fields, carried by “heavy” electrons and destroyed below a second critical temperature.
