A Few Picoseconds Reveal Superconductivity’s Hidden Breaking Point


Ultrafast current pulses let scientists push superconductors beyond their usual experimental limits before vortices and heat could interfere. The method revealed striking differences in how two superconducting materials break down and could expose quantum behavior that conventional measurements miss.
