Engineering Materials that Act as Superconductors at the Nanoscale

One major goal on the path toward making useful superconducting devices has been engineering materials that act as superconductors at the nanoscale - the realm of billionths of a meter. Such nanoscale superconductors would be useful in devices such as superconductive transistors and eventually in ultrafast, power-saving electronics.
