Record distance for alternative super-current

Monday, November 14, 2016 - 06:31 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have discovered that electrons that spin synchronously around their axes remain superconductive across large distances within magnetic chrome dioxide. Electric current from these electrons can flip small magnets, and its superconductive version could form the basis of a hard drive without energy loss. The study has been published in Physical Review X.
