Max Planck physicists outrun vortices to push superconductors toward their depairing current
Max Planck researchers drove type-II superconductors past their DC critical current by applying current for only a few picoseconds. Vortices barely move in that time, so the pulses probe an intrinsic depairing limit that steady currents struggle to reach.
