Physicists Push a Superconductor Past Quantum Vortices
Original: Physicists Outran Quantum 'Tornadoes' to Push a Superconductor to Its True Limit
Physicists report pushing a superconductor to its true upper limit by racing against quantum 'tornadoes' — the swirling vortices of magnetic flux that normally destroy superconductivity at high fields. By moving faster than these vortices form or disrupt the current, researchers appear to have demonstrated a new record for how far a superconductor can be driven before it fails, with implications for future magnets, power systems, and quantum technologies.
Why now: Fresh research coverage of a record-setting superconductivity experiment that fascinates science readers.
