Electronic 'Stripes' Tame Quantum Whirlpools in New Superconductor
In a novel superconductor, scientists have discovered that a pre-existing, stripe-like pattern of electrons can shape and steer quantum whirlpools known as vortices. This strong coupling allows for precise control over the behaviour of these vortices at the nanoscale, opening a new avenue for engineering future quantum technologies.
