New Possibilities Found for Room-Temperature Superconductivity

To study superconducting materials in their “normal,” non-superconducting state, scientists usually switch off superconductivity by exposing the material to a magnetic field, left. SLAC scientists discovered that turning off superconductivity with a flash of light, right produces a normal state with very similar fundamental physics that is also unstable and can host brief flashes...
