Supercurrent acceleration discovery could boost ultrafast computing
Terahertz light — light at trillions of cycles per second — can act as a control knob to accelerate supercurrents.

Physicists use terahertz flashes to uncover new state of matter hidden by superconductivity.
Ruslan Prozorov, professor of physics and astronomy, has contributed to successfully demonstrating that a new type of optical magnetometer can map a unique feature of superconductive materials.
Paul Canfield, Distinguished Professor of physics and astronomy, is among scientists at Ames Laboratory who have discovered a state of magnetism that may be the missing link to understanding the relationship between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity.
“In real life things are never perfect,” said Ruslan Prozorov.
