"Scientists puzzled by sudden disappearance of quantum vortices in superconductor"

Physicists have observed the "sudden death" of quantum fluctuations in a superconducting material, tungsten ditelluride, which challenges existing theories and requires a new explanation. This discovery could provide insight into superconductors and potentially lead to the development of room-temperature superconductors. The researchers observed unexpected behavior in quantum vortices at high temperatures and strong magnetic fields, leading to the need for a new theory to explain these phenomena.
