Superconductivity
Superconductors are materials that exhibit zero electrical resistivity and become diamagnetic when they are cooled to a sufficiently low temperature. In the superconducting state, pe...

Superconductor Technology
A superconductor is a material that loses all resistance (called "zero resistance") to the flow of direct electrical current and nearly all resistance to the flow of alternat...

Superconductors and Superconductivity
A superconductor is a material that conducts electrical current with no resistance. The phenomenon of superconductivity was first discovered by H. Kamerlingh Onne...

Superconductivity
During the early 1900s, the Dutch physicist, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes carried out a series of studies on low temperature phenomena. The most striking result he obtained was the liquefa...

Superconductivity
In 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes discovered that some materials, when cooled to very low temperatures—within a few degrees of absolute zero—become superc...

Superconductors are a rather recent development in the world of electronics. Although discovered in 1911 by the Dutch physicist, Heike Kammerlingh Onnes we have not discovered or refined all the use...

A superconductor encounters no electrical resistance and so then can carry around large amounts of electrical current for extremely long periods of time and still not lose its energy. Having no resis...
