Introducing the New Editor-in-Chief of “Superconductivity News Forum”

Welcoming a New Editor-in-Chief

Xavier Obradors, EiC of SNFApril 2022

It is with great enthusiasm that I assume the role of the new Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of “Superconductivity News Forum” (SNF), following my two predecessors, Horst Rogalla and Alex Braginski.

I am confident that I echo a worldwide sentiment that SNF is a very useful tool for promoting the international advances in superconductivity R&D and sharing those results to better human life on a global scale. The key role played by the IEEE Council of Superconductivity (IEEE CSC) and the European Society of Applied Superconductivity (ESAS), as well as other scientific societies around the world, in supporting the activities and the initiatives of SNF have been outstanding and have contributed to its success. I am convinced that the synergetic initiatives being generated are very useful, thereby contributing to the expanding impact of the scientific and technological R&D in superconductivity.

Full Article will be available in our upcoming Issue No. 51 Preview No. 1.

New Topical Review: Superconducting Photon Detectors

Photo of the Authors Dmitry, Alessandro, Robert (Glasgow, Scotland, 02 March 2022)March 21, 2022 (HP150). Dmitry Morozov, Alessandro Casaburi and Robert Hadfield at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, have published a major topical review in Contemporary Physics (Taylor & Francis).  This review gives an accessible introduction to the physics of photon detection in superconducting materials.  The leading superconducting device technologies for visible and infrared single-photon detection are surveyed: superconducting tunnel junctions, kinetic inductance detectors, transition edge sensors, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors and hot electron bolometers.  Current and emerging applications in quantum optics, life sciences, remote sensing and astronomy are signposted.  This review is a valuable resource for new researchers and seasoned experts alike.

"One-way Superconductor" from Delft University of Technology

"In what we call "Quantum Material Josephson Junctions" (QMJJs), we replace the classical barrier material in JJs with a quantum material barrier, where the quantum material's intrinsic properties can modulate the coupling between the two superconductors in novel ways...

EUCAS 2023 - Call for Submissions
On behalf of the Organising Committee of EUCAS 2023, it is our pleasure to call for your technical contribution to the conference. Contributions are encouraged covering the whole spectrum of applied superconductivity: from materials to applications, from established LTS materials to prospective HTS materials and from small-size to large scale. All submitted abstracts will be reviewed for scientific content and relevance by the Program Committees.
 
Online abstract submission is now open and takes place through the conference website. The deadline for abstract submission is Tuesday 3 February 2023. Notifications of acceptance or rejection of the abstract after review by the Program Committee will be communicated to the authors by mid-April 2023.

Call for Nominations: 2023 ESAS Award for Excellence in Applied Superconductivity
The European Society for Applied Superconductivity (ESAS) seeks nominations for the ESAS AWARD 2023, which will be awarded at the European Conference on Applied Superconductivity (EUCAS) 2023 in Bologna, Italy. The award is subject to the nomination of an appropriate candidate: an individual, without age restriction, to "recognize excellence in advancing the knowledge of applied superconductivity over the past five years". The award will be announced in the regular ESAS (European Society for Applied Superconductivity) communications and will be presented to the award winner during EUCAS 2023 in Bologna.
 
Deadline 28 April 2023
