Scientists have successfully made germanium, a key semiconductor used in computer chips and fiber optics, superconducting for ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also ...

The study of germanium clusters and their associated nanostructures has emerged as a vital area of research in the development of next‐generation semiconductor devices. Germanium clusters, with their ...

An illustration of a Josephson junction created with superconducting germanium (gold) and semiconducting germanium (blue). A ...

Scientists have created a new form of germanium—a material already central to computer chips and fiber optics—that can ...

Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum ...

A new type of germanium superconductor could allow classical and quantum chips to be built into one device, creating better ...

Our current chip technology is largely based on silicon. Only in very special components a small amount of germanium is added. But there are good reasons to use higher germanium contents in the future ...

Scientists made germanium superconducting, enabling resistance-free conduction and uniting classical electronics with quantum technology after six decades.

Our current chip technology is largely based on silicon -- even though different materials such as silicon-germanium would have decisive advantages. The problem is that it is very hard to create clean ...
