MIT scientists finally see hidden quantum “jiggling” inside superconductors

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, they were able to observe electrons moving together in a frictionless, wave-like state for the first time. This discovery opens a new window into how superconductors really work. It could also help drive future breakthroughs in high-speed wireless c…
