Superconductivity: properties and challenges
IN BRIEF Definition: State of a material at very low temperatures capable of conducting electric current without resistance. Meissner Effect: Expulsion of magnetic fields when transitioning to the superconducting state. Applications: Lossless electricity transport, magnetic levitation, magnetic resonance imaging. Fascinating properties: Indefinite current circulation in a superconducting ring. Challenges: Understanding the mechanisms of superconductivity and … Read more
