Exact excerpt

On applying a magnetic field to access an intermediate regime straddling two distinct superconducting phases, we find that direct current pulses can push the material in and out of a metastable state that has an enhanced critical current density Jc. This switching is controllable by the strength and duration of the stimuli, with the system ‘remembering’ whether it is in the high or low Jc state for extended periods. ... The equilibrium vortex lattice is reattained by annealing the system with a gradual current ramp, returning it to the original state.
