Join us and learn about fantastic cutting-edge research. No prior knowledge needed! Starting at 7 pm sharp at the Key Auditorium of the Rutherford Physics Building!<br /> <br /> A public talk by Auriane Canesse from 海角社区.<br /> <br /> First discovered in 1911, superconductors are fascinating materials with an absolutely null electrical resistance. Once an electrical current induced in a superconductor, it will continue flowing without degradation... for years! More surprisingly they are also able to expel magnetic fields and can even levitate above powerful magnets! How is that possible? What are superconductors made of? And what amazing technologies can we build from them? In this lecture, we will learn how superconductivity works at the atomic scale before covering its various applications, from levitating trains to Dark Matter detectors.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-category field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Dept. of Physics</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-organization-name field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Organization Name:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Physics Matters</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-source-site field-type-link-field field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Source Site:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/science" title="Source site -
