Data center

Heating data centers to 41°C/105°F, could save big on global energy consumption

In one design of the new superconducting device, the diode consists of a ferromagnetic strip (pink) atop a superconducting thin film (grey). The team also identified the key factors behind the resulting current that travels in only one direction with no resistance. Credits:Image courtesy of A. Varambally, Y-S. Hou, and H. Chi.
