ScienceElectrically controllable superconducting memory in UTe₂
Nature reports on a superconducting memory effect in UTe₂. A science-news account sharing the paper says current pulses switch between states that hold for hours.
TLDR
Nature describes research on an electrically controllable superconducting memory effect in UTe₂. A science-news account quoting Nature says a direct-current pulse flips the material between low- and high-critical-current states that hold for hours. The account describes frozen vortex configurations and calls the memory intrinsic, with no magnetic bits required.
