Chiral superconductor generates electric current when properly deformed

Scientists around the world are busy looking for chiral superconductors, which are predicted to be ideal for building quantum computers. Until now, it has not been easy to determine whether a material is clearly a chiral superconductor or not. Together with their colleagues in Stockholm, theoretical physicists at Utrecht University have recently discovered that a unique effect occurs in chiral superconductors that should be easy to measure. In addition to being interesting from a theoretical per...
