Superconductivity—then and now
Source abstract
Abstract
The discovery of high‐Tc superconductors in 1986 resulted in a massive research effort which continues today. Superconducting materials have been known, however, since 1911. In this article, the historical background to superconductivity is traced, conventional and high‐Tc materials are described and the theories which are applied to rationalize this phenomenon discussed, always with an eye on current and future applications, for example SQUIDs and levitating trains.
