There, superconducting nanowire detectors, placed close to the beams, would need microelectronics immune to magnetic fields,” stated Argonne Distinguished Fellow and group leader Zein-Eddine Meziani.A paper based on the study,”Design and performance of parallel-channel nanocryotrons in magnetic fields,” appeared in the December 18, 2023 edition of Applied Physics Letters.
