What is a significant impact of Giaever's research on modern technology?
Improved MRI machines
Enhanced semiconductor devices
Advanced solar panels
New antibiotic treatments
Answer
Enhanced semiconductor devices are a significant impact of Giaever's research on modern technology. His work on electron tunneling in superconductors led to the development of the Josephson junction, a key component in high-speed computing and other electronic devices. The Josephson junction is a superconducting tunnel junction that allows electrons to tunnel through a thin insulating barrier between two superconductors.
