Description

Superconductors are materials that conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below a specific temperature. This occurs due to the formation of Cooper pairs, where electrons pair up and move through the lattice without scattering or collisions. The Meissner effect, which describes their ability to expel magnetic fields, makes them useful for magnetic levitation technologies. Superconductors have potential applications in energy transmission, medical imaging, and even quantum computing. The challenge lies in maintaining the extreme cooling required for their operation. Continued research aims to develop room-temperature superconductors, which could revolutionize technology. Comparable works include A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking
