‘Vacuumtronics’ could help make better superconductors
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Vacuum fluctuations can enhance superconductivity in a bulk material. This is the new finding from researchers in China and the US who have put forward the concept of “vacuumtronics”. This is a new way to tune superconductivity without chemically altering a material, applying pressure to it or driving it with intense light.

In quantum electrodynamics, a vacuum is not empty but is host to fluctuating electromagnetic fields in which pairs of virtual particles are continuously being created and an
