Physicists at the University of Regensburg (UR) led by the research groups of Professor Dr. Christoph Strunk / Dr. Nicola Paradiso and Professor Dr. Jaroslav Fabian made an exciting discovery: In their publication just published in Nature Nanotechnology, the research teams experimentally demonstrate a dramatic sign change of the supercurrent diode effect. The corresponding experimental data are in quantitative agreement with the theory of Dr. Andreas Costa and Dr. Denis Kochan, also physicists at the University of Regensburg. This discovery will have major implications in the scientific community: The superconducting diode effect has become a highly topical issue in quantum electronics due to its exciting prospects for technological applications and basic research.
