Superconducting Quantum Interference Device - a device which is capable of nanometer-resolution of microvolt discharges over a meter distance, or better. Designed based on the relatively crude quantum engineering practices of the 2nd century a.t., they are commonly still found in cheaply designed consumer electronics where greater precision is not needed, such as latch sensors or activation zones.Technology > Technology Levels > Middle Tech / Midtech

The physical phenomenon whereby some materials exhibit zero electrical resistance at low temperatures. Superconductivity allows great computational power with little or no heat dissipation (the major limiting factor in all processing operations). The synthesizing of special materials enabling cheap and reliable room temperature superconductivity during the early Interplanetary Age represented a tremendous leap forward in many fields of technology. - Superconductors
