Superconductors Can Now Be Patterned Without Etching

Executive Briefing & Key Highlights

What if you could build microscopic patterns without carving the material? Researchers have shown a way to do that while improving terahertz performance. Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, IIT Hyderabad, PSL Research University, and the University of Notre Dame have demonstrated a way to fabricate superconducting metamaterials without physically etching away parts of the material.
