On a separate silicon chip, they grow a thin, flexible film of silicon nitride, upon which they deposit
the superconductor niobium nitride in a pattern useful for photon detection.

«It's light, easily made into wires and is really cheap compared with the old
niobium - titanium
superconductors, which needed cooling way down to 4 kelvin,» Neumann says.
The odd acceleration detected in the
niobium ring also suggests that energy isn't conserved in the
superconductor — another major violation of known physics.
