THE CRYOTRON, 1 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. The cryotron is extremely small, inexpensive, and, from all that is known, highly reliable. These advantages tend to offset the disadvantage imposed by the necessity for a constant supply of liquid helium.
