Superconductivity: properties and challenges
IN SHORT Definition: State of a material at very low temperature capable of conducting an electric current without resistance. Meissner effect: Expulsion of magnetic fields when transitioning to a superconducting state. Applications: Transporting electricity without energy loss, magnetic levitation, magnetic resonance imaging. Fascinating properties: Indefinite current circulation in a superconducting ring. Challenges: Understanding superconductivity mechanisms … Read more
