Persistant bistable switched superconducting sandwich with bacon or graphene or something...

[KD5ZXG]

Nobody expected the switched state to persist after drive voltage was taken away.

So what, a memristor without resistance now, is that even allowed?

Does the superconducting quality still require very low temperatures like other typical superconductors?

Why did I read this as "Superconducting Bacon"?

Yes, Magic-Angle Graphine doesn't become properly conductive until around 1.7K, or -271.5 degrees Celsius.
That's where those insulating cheese layers come in.

“In a conventional metal, the average velocity of electrons is responsible for conductivity, and in a superconductor, the electrons pair into Cooper pairs to flow uniformly with no resistance or dissipation,” Zhang said. “By contrast, in twisted bilayer graphene, the electrons move very, very slowly, with a speed approaching zero. But this produces a paradox: How can these slow electrons conduct electricity, let alone superconduct? The superconductivity must come from something else. We determined that it arises from quantum geometry.”

Memesters?

Yeah, you just gotta do your kegel exercises.

You're not alone

Clearcut case of click-bacon. Sorry, not sorry.

Now I'm hungry.
