done w/ finals. woohoo.

oh, this is interesting…750GHz chips? they use superconducting niobium w/ josephson junction devices (linewidths of about 1 µm). of course all running at below 10K.

funny quote of the day:

Moreover, unlike other emerging high-performance technologies, such as indium phosphide heterojunction bipolar transistors or resonant tunneling diode schemes, RSFQ circuit power dissipation hardly scales at all with operating frequency
