Tiny superconducting thermometer monitors ultracold temperatures

Some advanced electronic devices, such as superconductors and quantum computers, can currently only function at extremely cold temperatures. Now engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technolgy (NIST) have developed a tiny cryogenic thermometer that can keep an eye on these sensitive instruments without taking up much room.Continue ReadingCategory: Electronics, ScienceTags: Electronic, Cryogenics, ultracold, NIST, Quantum Computing, superconductor
