Scientists Reveal Microscopic Mechanism Behind Superinsulation

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered the microscopic mechanism behind the phenomenon of superinsulation, the ability of certain materials to completely block the flow of electric current at low temperatures. The essence of the mechanism is what the authors termed "multi-stage energy relaxation."

3D Microprocessors Fitted on Supercomputers by 2015

The technological challenge is clear in terms of performance. But there is also an environmental stake. As John R. Thome, of the EPFL in Lausanne, explains: "In the United States, the industry's data centres already consume as much as 2% of available electricity. As consumption doubles over a five-year period, the supercomputers of 2100 would theoretically use up the whole of the USA's electrical supply!".
