Researchers at Lucent Technologies’ Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., have created a plastic that functions as a superconductor (can conduct electricity without resistance).
“Plastics are easier and cheaper to make and sculpt than other materials, so the achievement may eventually lead to … components for future computers that use quantum mechanical calculations.”
