Researchers have shown that a single‑atom‑high step on a superconductor’s surface can act as a “quantum highway,” directing vortex motion with a directional preference exceeding 1,000‑to‑1. This unprecedented control over quantum vortices promises to dramatically reduce energy loss…

Physicists have uncovered striking evidence of a novel superconducting state in uranium ditelluride, where electron pairs form rippling pair‑density‑wave patterns, highlighting a previously hidden form of superconductivity. At the same time, researchers announced a breakthrough computational method that…
