Friday Squid Blogging: On SQUIDS

Posted on By infossl
Security technology, squid, Uncategorized

A good tutorial: But we can go beyond the polarization of electrons and really leverage the electron waviness. By interleaving thin layers of superconducting and normal materials, we can make the quantum electronic equivalents of transistors and diodes such as Superconducting Tunnel Junctions (SJTs) and Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (affectionately known as SQUIDs). These devices … Read More “Friday Squid Blogging: On SQUIDS” »

Security technology, squid

There’s a new SQUID: A new device that relies on flowing clouds of ultracold atoms promises potential tests of the intersection between the weirdness of the quantum world and the familiarity of the macroscopic world we experience every day. The atomtronic Superconducting QUantum Interference Device (SQUID) is also potentially useful for ultrasensitive rotation measurements and … Read More “Friday Squid Blogging: New SQUID” »

Researchers are synthesizing squid proteins to create a face mask that better survives cleaning. (And you thought there was no connection between squid and COVID-19.) The military thinks this might have applications for self-healing robots. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I … Read More “Friday Squid Blogging: Squid Proteins for a Better Face Mask” »

The Kraken is the name of Seattle’s new NFL franchise. I have always really liked collective nouns as sports team names (like the Utah Jazz or the Minnesota Wild), mostly because it’s hard to describe individual players. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news … Read More “Friday Squid Blogging: Introducing the Seattle Kraken” »
