World's Smallest Superconductor Discovered 72

arcticstoat writes "One of the barriers to the development of nanoscale electronics has potentially been eliminated, as scientists have discovered the world's smallest superconductor. Made up of four pairs of molecules, and measuring just 0.87nm, the superconductor could potentially be used as a nanoscale interconnect in electronic devices, but without the heat and power dissipation problems associated with standard metal conductors."

Very, very informative -- you have actual hard-to-find knowledge and you are sharing it without arrogance and without parochial agenda. Thank you, Animats.

Interestingly, if you Google "non-linear magnetic steel," you get exactly one entry (and if you Google "nonlinear magnetic steel," you get zero -- oddly).

That entry is precisely the reference you made to the simulation site.

So I have been thwarted in understanding what "non-linear magnetic steel" is.

Can someone help?

We can defeat gravity. The problem is the paperwork involved.
