unusual facts about superconducting



Aharonov–Bohm effect

This behavior is similar to that of the superconducting quantum interference devices (see SQUID).

American Superconductor

American Superconductor (AMSC) is an American energy technologies company based in Devens, Massachusetts specializing in the design and manufacture of power systems and superconducting wire.

Andrew D. Huxley

This emergence of an unconventional superconducting state by the application of an external tuning parameter such as magnetic field or pressure is hypothesised to be closely related to a 'Quantum critical point' (QCP) - a special phase transition that occurs at temperatures approaching zero kelvins.

Electrodynamic suspension

The magnetic field in the train is produced by either superconducting magnets (as in SCMaglev) or by an array of permanent magnets (as in Inductrack).

Gordon Danby

Gordon T. Danby is an American physicist notable (together with Dr. James R. Powell) for his work on superconducting Maglev, for which he shared the Franklin Institute 'Medal 2000 for Engineering'.

History of superconductivity

In 1935, F. and H. London showed that the Meissner effect was a consequence of the minimization of the electromagnetic free energy carried by superconducting current.

HT-7

HT-7, or Hefei Tokamak-7, is an experimental superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion reactor built in Hefei, China, to investigate the process of developing fusion power.

James R. Powell

James R. Powell is an American physicist notable — together with Dr. Gordon Danby — for his work on superconducting Maglev, for which he shared the Franklin Institute "Medal 2000 for Engineering".

Josephson penetration depth

where d I is the thickness of the Josephson barrier (usually insulator), d {1,2} are the thicknesses of superconducting electrodes, and \lambda {1,2} are their London penetration depths.

London moment

The GP-B gyro consists of a nearly-perfect spherical rotating mass made of fused quartz, which provides a dielectric support for a thin layer of niobium superconducting material.

Magnetic levitation

1961 James R. Powell and BNL colleague Gordon Danby electrodynamic levitation using superconducting magnets

Magnetomyography

Magnetomyography (MMG) is a technique for mapping muscle activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the muscles, using arrays of SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices).

Nikolai N. Kolesnikov

He is the inventor of the High-Pressure Vertical Zone Melting method and Nanopowder Technology of CdTe and CdZnTe and also discovered one of the superconducting phases in Tl-Ba-Cu-O system.

S-PULSE

S-PULSE is a support action of the European Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) that stimulates joint efforts of European academic and industrial groups in the field of superconducting technologies.

Sadeg Faris

At IBM Watson, he received 7 Invention Achievement Award, Outstanding Innovation Award, for the world fastest oscilloscope (picosecond speed), and Invention of the Year and Award for inventing the Quiteron, a superconducting transistor.

Stanley Autler

Autler was a pioneer in the use of small superconducting solenoids with niobium wire, producing a 2.5 T field at a temperature of 4.2 K, then achieving 9.8 T at a temperature of 1.5 K.

Superconducting electric machine

In 2005 the General Atomics company received a contract for the creation of a large low speed superconducting homopolar motor for ship propulsion.

Technological applications of superconductivity

The Holbrook Superconductor Project is a project to design and build the world's first production superconducting transmission power cable.

Ware Tetralogy

By 2020, they have created a complex society on the Moon, where the boppers developed because they depend on super-cooled superconducting Josephson effect circuits.
