A cohort of scientists developed a reliable way to measure heat dissipation in superconducting circuits.

 E-Mail The next generation of supercomputers - including quantum computers - is at a crucial point: Tomorrow's high-performance computers are at their physical limit in terms of miniaturization of their components; at the same time, they must be more energy-efficient and increase in performance. In this context, the international research network SuperGate coordinated by the University of Konstanz is creating a new basis: The researchers are developing a bridging technology that combines superconductor technology with semiconductor technology, using an approach that was considered physicall...

 E-Mail The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is establishing 20 new Collaborative Research Centres (CRC) to further support top-level research at universities. This was decided by the relevant Grants Committee, which met by video conference due to the coronavirus pandemic. The new CRCs will receive a total of approximately €254 million for an initial period of four years beginning 1 January 2021. This includes a 22 percent programme allowance for indirect project costs. Three of the new networks are CRC/Transregios (TRR), which are distributed across multip...
