Product Description
Superconductors have the ability to conduct electricity without the loss of energy to electrical resistance. Certain special materials become superconductors (that is, they show superconductivity) when they are cooled to low temperatures. Superconductors are currently used in such diverse fields as energy, transportation, medicine and electronics. This video looks at how superconductors work and how superconductivity was discovered. Simple experiments illustrate the important principles of this fascinating phenomenon that could become one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. |
