Abstract
Applying a constant voltage to superconducting nanowires we find that its I-V characteristic exhibits an unusual S behavior. This behavior is the direct consequence of the dynamics of the superconducting condensate and of the existence of two different critical currents: jc2 at which the pure superconducting state becomes unstable and jc1<jc2 at which the phase-slip state is realized in the system.
