Superconduct

Next to “Schafroth,” Bob had written “First to observe that charged bosons superconduct.” ❋ Martin A. Nowak (2011)

For more than two decades, scientists have worked to explain and enhance the performance of copper-oxide based ceramics, which two decades ago were discovered to superconduct at temperatures far warmer than any other known materials — though still requiring temperatures that are quite chilly by human standards. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Japanese physicists have been experimenting with new bonding methods, and have found that ‘entirely end-bonded’ multiwalled carbon nanotubes can superconduct at temperatures 30 times higher than the regular type. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Understanding that behavior could help physicists find new materials that superconduct at even higher temperatures. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In 1986, physicists discovered that cuprates (ceramic compounds that contain copper) can superconduct at relatively high temperatures (up to 135 degrees Celsius above absolute zero). ❋ Unknown (2010)

It also has the lowest boiling point of any gas, which makes it useful for a variety of cooling applications, including keeping the hardware cold enough to superconduct at the Large ❋ Unknown (2010)

Known high-temperature superconductors only superconduct well below room temperature, but a detailed understanding of how the materials work may one day lead to practical applications such as more efficient transmission of electricity across power grids. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If this technique works for graphene (graphene with a lot of hydrogen) then other researchers have computed that p-dooped graphane would superconduct at 90 kelvin ❋ Bw (2010)

Once researchers better understand how electrons travel in high-temperature superconductors, they can then begin trying to design materials that superconduct at even higher temperatures. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Hla says it should be possible to grow the wires on semiconductors or insulators as well and prove that electrons superconduct along the wires. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In the last 20 years, however, scientists have discovered several compounds that superconduct at much higher temperatures. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Just above the temperature at which they begin to superconduct, they enter a state called the "strange metal" state. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I was recently reading about high temperature superconductors, which are able to superconduct at - 373F. ❋ Chrisg288 (2010)

But he adds that because the silver surface beneath the wire has very low resistance on the nanoscale, it's difficult to demonstrate that electrons superconduct along the wire's length rather than jumping through the silver. ❋ Unknown (2010)
