"switches on (superconducting)/ off (normal) in different parts of the 3D nanostructure by rotating  nanostructure in magnetic field, superconducting/ normal coexistence can lead to quantum mechanical effects, such as weak links used for ultra-sensitive sensing... move from 2 to 3D might breaking symmetries, introduce curvature, create interconnected channels... creates reconfigurable superconducting device propagating superconducting state defects, building adaptive/ multi-purpose superconducting components"
