Atomic steps guide quantum vortices in superconductors
🤖 AI-generated content — The title and summary were produced automatically by artificial intelligence, without human editorial review.
Researchers at Japan's National Institute for Materials Science discovered that atomic steps just one atom high can guide quantum vortices inside an ultrathin superconductor. These vortices moved more than 1,000 times more easily along the steps than across them, an effect that can be adjusted by changing the temperature or magnetic field.
