The frequency the team used in the experiment was 4.8 gigahertz, which is close to the microwave frequencies that are used in modern wireless networks. Once frequencies get as high as this, the wavelength of sound emitted becomes so short that it can be guided along the surface of a microchip. So team researchers placed their artificial atom on a microchip to make a superconducting material. Superconducting materials can conduct electricity with no resistance, which means that they can carry a current indefinitely without losing any energy, which is the next step in improving electrical technology in the future
