The Physics of Superconductors: Paving the Way for a New Era of Technology
Superconducting materials, which have zero resistance, have attracted the attention of both physicists and engineers for over a century now. Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, and ever since then it has been an object of intensive research, for it may overhaul thoroughly the technology. This capability—allowing electricity…
