Breaking Barriers: Magnetic Fields Enhance Superconductivity in UTe₂

A study demonstrating the elevation of the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) in UTe2 through the application of intense magnetic fields has been published in PNAS. These findings offer valuable insights into the interplay between magnetism and unconventional superconductivity, contributing to a deeper understanding of these complex phenomena.
