Associate Professor Mazhar Ali and his research group at TU Delft have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was thought to be impossible ever since its discovery in 1911. The discovery, which was published in Nature, makes use of 2D quantum materials and paves the way toward superconducting computing. Superconductors can make electronics ...
In 2001, China was a novice when it came to supercomputing. Japan, the United States, and Europe made up the top three computing powers. Almost two decades later, things have changed drastically. As of June 2020, China was home to 226 of the top 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. The U.S. trailed far ...
With a speed of approximately 415.53 petaflops, Japan’s Fugaku bests its U.S. and Chinese competitors and takes the top spot as the “fastest supercomputer in the world.” The ranking was released by Top500, a project that has been tracking the evolution of computer processing power for nearly three decades. Fugaku’s win brings the title back to ...
