The Americans have developed a revolutionary superconductor

U.S. scientists have developed ultra superconducting films, reports Reuters. In the long run, this discovery could lead to the creation of a new class of electronics, which will work faster and consume less power.

When you create a film used two materials that are not superconductors. However, when connecting it acquired the superconducting properties. The thickness of a superconducting film is less than one nanometer.

To cool films do not require such a low temperature, as in the use of modern superconductors. They can operate at 50 degrees Kelvin (minus 223.2 degrees centigrade scale). For conventional superconductors require the temperature is four degrees Kelvin (minus 269.2 degrees centigrade scale).

Developers of new material, hoping that they will be able to bring its operating temperature to 77 degrees Kelvin (minus 196.2 degrees centigrade scale). This will allow cool superconductors cheap liquid nitrogen rather than expensive liquid helium, used at present.

The ultimate goal of developers ultra films - made to work superconductor at room temperature.
