A TU Delft team has demonstrated a one-way superconductor that gives zero resistance in one direction, but blocks current completely in the other. The discovery, long thought impossible, heralds a ...

Electrical engineers are obviously very familiar and comfortable with the basic diode, a passive and vital component that restricts current flow to one direction only, while mechanical engineers ...

And when they looked, they found that they’d made a one-way superconductor. What Ali’s group has created is very much like a diode: a component that only conducts electricity in one direction.
