Josephson junction

Josephson junction
/joh"zeuhf seuhn, -seuhf-/, Electronics.
a high-speed switch, used in experimental computers, that operates on the basis of a radiative phenomenon (Josephson effect) exhibited by a pair of superconductors separated by a thin insulator.
[1965-70; after B. D. JOSEPHSON, who predicted the existence of the effect]
