US EditionScientists Make Germanium Superconducting After 60 Years
NYU's Quantum Institute aims to integrate quantum computing, communications, and sensing research to create practical technologies across multiple scientific fields, hiring six specialists this year.
- On Thursday, New York University announced the launch of its Quantum Institute to centralize research on quantum computing, communications and sensing.
- To break down fragmented collaboration, the Quantum Institute aims to integrate ecosystems that translate discoveries into deployable systems across physics, engineering, and more.
- Javad Shabani, physics professor and director of NYU's Center of Quantum Information Physics and the Quantum Institute, will lead the institute and said quantum computing can bring new solutions in physical and life sciences.
- The institute is intended to create a world-leading quantum ecosystem that radically improves the quantum computing landscape, as officials say quantum sciences could solve problems beyond current technologies, Juan de Pablo said.
- Researchers created a superconducting form of germanium that carries current with zero resistance at 3.5 Kelvin, using advanced X-ray techniques to substitute gallium while preserving lattice stability.

Scientists turn common semiconductor into a superconductor
Researchers have made germanium superconducting for the first time, a feat that could transform computing and quantum technologies. Using molecular beam epitaxy to embed gallium atoms precisely, the team stabilized the crystal structure to carry current without resistance. The discovery paves the way for scalable, energy-efficient quantum devices and cryogenic electronics.
Scientists create new type of semiconductor that holds superconducting promise
Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also superconducting, thereby enhancing their speed and energy efficiency and enabling new quantum technologies. However, achieving superconductivity in semiconductor materials such as silicon and germanium has proved challenging due to difficulty in maintaining an optimal atomic structure with the desired conduction behavior.
New York University makes major commitment to quantum computing
New York University (NYU) has made a significant commitment to quantum computing. The institution recently announced that it will launch the NYU Quantum Institute, a move designed to position the university as a major player in the growing field of quantum technology, according to a news release from the university. The announcement, made during the “Quantum Conversations: From Fundamentals to Futures” event co-hosted by Quantum Coast Capital an…
