Mazhar Ali: Breaking the Wall to One-Way Superconductivity and Faster Electronics

Research in Engineering and Technology influences our daily life, sometimes without us even noticing it. What ideas break down significant barriers, change the research field and offer solutions for current problems? Let's look at some of the groundbreaking projects shortlisted by the jury for the Falling Walls Science Breakthroughs of the Year 2022 in the Engineering and Technology category. Mazhar Ali is an Associate Professor in the Department of Quantum Nanoscience of the Faculty of Applied Sciences at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology) and is also part of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft (KIND). He did his Bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Chemistry at UC Berkeley, his PhD in Chemistry and Materials at Princeton and his post-doc at IBM-Almaden before becoming the Humboldt Sofia Kovalevskaya group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Microstructure Physics in Germany and then moving to TU Delft. He also served as Chief Scientist His of Ketos Inc., a water quality and intelligence company, and currently serves as Chief Scientific Officer of Material Mind Inc., a materials intelligence start-up company. Currently, Ali’s research focuses on the 3Q’s: Quantum Materials, Quantum Properties, and Quantum Devices, fabricating and exploring magnetic and electronic properties for both fundamental physics and next-gen technological applications. Mazhar Ali and his research group achieved non-reciprocal superconductivity (electrical conduction without energy loss) by creating "Quantum Material Josephson Junctions"; sandwiches of non-superconducting quantum materials in-between superconducting electrodes. The thesis: the quantum material's intrinsic properties can lead to novel coupling between the superconductors. This proved correct, and they created the Josephson Diode, analogous to the semiconductor diode, but superconducting only in one direction and not the other. About the Falling Walls Science Summit The Falling Walls Science Summit is a leading international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral forum for scientific breakthroughs and science dialogue between global science leaders and society. The event takes place every year from 7–9 November in Berlin, commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall. With formats Falling Walls Pitches (7 November), Falling Walls Circle (8 November) and Falling Walls Science Breakthroughs of the Year (9 November), the Falling Walls Science Summit is the leading forum for global science leaders from academia, business, politics, the media, and civil society to debate the potential of scientific breakthroughs to solve grand challenges and shape a sustainable future. The Falling Walls Science Summit is organised by the non-profit Falling Walls Foundation.
