| (Nanowerk News) Superconducting devices such as SQUIDS (Superconducting Quantum Interferometry Device) can perform ultra-sensitive measurements of magnetic fields. Leiden physicsts invented a method to 3D-print these and other superconducting devices in minutes. | |
| ‘Fabricating superconducting devices on a computer chip is a multi-step and demanding procedure, requiring dedicated facilities’, says Kaveh Lahabi, a physicist at Leiden Universty. ‘It usually takes days to complete’, | |
| Lahabi and co-authors have developed a new approach, in which Josephson junctions, essential parts of SQUIDS, can be printed on almost any surface in mere minutes, within an electron microscope. | |
| In this video, Lahabi and co-author Tycho Blom demonstrate their technique and discuss their recent article in ACS Nano (“Direct-Write Printing of Josephson Junctions in a Scanning Electron Microscope”). | |
