The places where the emitter joins the base and the base joins the collector are called junctions. |
The work reported in Science creates qubits from superconducting circuit elements called Josephson junctions. |
The best known of these are atrial receptors, which are nerves ending mainly at the junctions of the great veins with the atria. |
Last year local councils in London were given powers to fine motorists for bad driving, in particular for blocking yellow hatched box junctions. |
As well as possible applications in quantum computing, tunable Josephson junctions could be used to sense tiny variations in magnetic fields. |
But it will be copied again and again, at junctions in the wider Internet, and so will e-mails sent by individuals. |
