Superconductor works at warm temperatures

Article Abstract:

Japan's Superconductivity Research Laboratory and Iwate Industrial Research Institute have developed a warm-temperature superconductor having one of the strongest magnetic forces for this type of substance. The novel superconductor is made from rare-earth elements including barium and copper. It possesses certain particles that fail to become superconductive even when cold. The researchers raise their current density by making the particles 10 or more times smaller than before, allowing the superconductor to generate 30,000 Gauss.

At crossroads, device industry ponders best paths, strategies

Article Abstract:

The Electronics Industries Assn of Japan has established the Venture System LSI Assist Center (VSLAC) as the semiconductor industry approaches the 0.2 micron technology. This trend is forcing semiconductor manufacturers to enter the system LSI business and promote their proprietary application-specific functional blocks. The VSLAC will offer support for design and testing of system LSIs by venture enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses.
