A cryotron catalog memory system

Published:10 December 1956Publication History

ABSTRACT

The cryotron, a new computer component based on the phenomenon of superconductivity, may have an important influence on future developments in the field of computers and data-handling machines. At the present time the cryotron has a slower switching speed than transistors, but there are reasons for believing that the speed can be increased considerably.
