Reaching into the Quantum World: A New Way to Control Superconducting Vortices

Recent advances in nanoscience continue to push the boundaries of how we understand and manipulate matter at extremely small scales. A new study published by the Royal Society of Chemistry introduces an innovative technique for controlling superconducting vortices—tiny whirlpools of electrical current that form inside certain materials at very low temperatures. Superconductors are remarkable because […]
