Abstract: A micro-mechanical oscillator has been used, for the first time, to measure the dynamics of individual magnetic vortices threading a superconductor crystal. Predicting the behaviour of single vortex lines requires using a ‘1+1’-dimensional model from statistical mechanics — a tool that has wide applications, ranging from quantum mechanics to sequence alignment in genomics.
