Abstract:
Superconductors materials that conduct electricity without resistance are remarkable. They provide a macroscopic glimpse into quantum phenomena, which are usually observable only at the atomic level. Beyond their physical peculiarity, superconductors are also useful. Theyre found in medical imaging, quantum computers, and cameras used with telescopes.

Physicist Dr Rostislav Mikhaylovskiy from Lancaster University said: With stalling efficiency trends of current technology, new scientific approaches are especially valuable. Our discovery of the atomically-driven ultrafast control of magnetism opens broad avenues for fast and energy-efficient future data processing technologies essential to keep up with our data hunger.
