Small one-quantum magnetic vorticies form in Type 1.5 and 2 superconductors. It was thought that such vorticies would confine the non-superconducting electrons inside them. This experiment shows that this is not the case. The vortex can move for the most part independently, therefore it moves 10,000 times faster than expected due to its much lower mass.
