New Superconductor Design presents a better superconductor with geometric frustration. Superconductors contain tiny tornadoes of supercurrent, called vortex filaments, that create resistance when they move. This affects the way superconductors carry a current. A new superconductor design creates potential making them better for applications.
Semiconductor giant Micron Technology broke ground in North Coast yesterday to add new cleanroom space for production of its 3D NAND flash memory products. Micron did not disclose the cost, except to say that the new facility will be a “multi-billion- dollar investment”. It will be equipped over the next five years or more and add 1,000 new jobs in Singapore. As part of its agreement with the Economic Development Board, Micron will also broaden its research and development (R&D) capabilities here. The 1,000 new roles it is adding will comprise mainly engineers and technicians related to R&D and manufacturing.
