Physicists figure out how an electric field can switch off superconductivity

SMRTR summary

Physicists have discovered how electric fields can suppress superconductivity in thin metallic films. By applying a strong electric field to ultrathin superconducting metals, researchers found they could control current flow, potentially enabling new transistor materials. This breakthrough explains the microscopic mechanism behind the effect and could lead to advances in quantum computing and superconducting microelectronics.
