Since the early days of quantum physics in the 1920s and 30s, it has been suggested time and again that electric 'continuous currents' flow in tiny metal rings. These currents are small, but flow permanently, even without applied voltage. Physicists at Yale University and Freie Universitaet Berlin have now demonstrated the existence of these permanent currents in detail.
