"Creating Liquid-Solid Superconductors with Ultra-Strong Magnetic Fields"

Researchers have demonstrated, through advanced simulations, that a strong magnetic field can cause quantum fluctuations in a vacuum to materialize into a solid-liquid vortex state with superconducting and superfluid properties. This exotic state, born from the vacuum, exhibits characteristics of both a solid and a liquid, while also displaying superconductivity and superfluidity. The strength of the magnetic field required to achieve this state is approximately 74 exatesla, and at an even higher critical magnetic field strength of 260 exatesla, the vacuum transitions into a state resembling the universe at its earliest stages, where the Higgs field condensate disappears. These findings have implications for understanding the behavior of quantum atmospheres above highly magnetized black holes and the evolution of the universe.
