Description

Superconductivity allows electricity to flow in a substance without any resistance at temperatures near absolute zero. Growth in the field of super-conductivity is illustrated by the number of relatively large scale applications for superconductors which are presently being developed throughout the world. Most of the present applications involve superconducting magnets ranging from small high field laboratory research magnet systems for accelerators or fusion devices. High energy physics is one of the biggest users of superconducting materials.
