18 examples of Superconductor in a sentence
And the object that was levitating here is called a
superconductor.
So, a
superconductor
is defined by two properties.
The first is zero electrical resistance, and the second is the expulsion of a magnetic field from the interior of the
superconductor.
However, inside a
superconductor
there are no collisions, so there is no energy dissipation.
So a
superconductor
will try to expel magnetic field from the inside, and it has the means to do that by circulating currents.
But the picture isn't always perfect, as we all know, and sometimes strands of magnetic field remain inside the
superconductor.
Now, under proper conditions, which we have here, these strands of magnetic field can be trapped inside the
superconductor.
And these strands of magnetic field inside the superconductor, they come in discrete quantities.
But what happens to the
superconductor
when we put it inside a magnetic field?
Well, first there are strands of magnetic field left inside, but now the
superconductor
doesn't like them moving around, because their movements dissipate energy, which breaks the superconductivity state.
Because any movement of the
superconductor
will change their place, will change their configuration.
I have here a superconductor, which I wrapped up so it'd stay cold long enough.
You won't be surprised to hear that if I take this circular magnet, in which the magnetic field is the same all around, the
superconductor
will be able to freely rotate around the axis of the magnet.
I can adjust and I can rotate the
superconductor.
And, yeah, the amazing part is that this
superconductor
that you see here is only half a micron thick.
It was a normal Tuesday at the superconductor, until a bug in the system created a small situation.
The discovery of a new
superconductor
with enhanced properties could lead to even greater technological innovation.
Cuprates superconduct at much higher temperatures, but, more importantly, they possess some exotic properties: they are formed by doping electrical carriers into a host material that is a magnetic insulator – the last place one would look for a conventional
superconductor.
