Scientists have recently discovered a new phenomenon called the “superconducting diode effect,” which has the potential to revolutionize the field of electronics. This effect occurs when a current is passed through a superconductor, creating a diode-like barrier which allows the current to flow in one direction only. This barrier is highly efficient, allowing for greater control of the current and enabling new technological applications. For instance, this effect could be used to create ultra-fast computers with unprecedented levels of energy efficiency.
