Unique duality: Team discovers exotic superconductor with metallic surface A new material with a split personality—part superconductor, part metal—has been observed by a Princeton University-led research team. The discovery may have implications for the development of next-generation electronics that could transform the way information is stored and processed. One-dimensional window on superconductivity, magnetism A Rice University-led team of physicists is reporting the first success in a three-year effort to build a precision simulator for superconductors using a grid of intersecting laser beams and ultracold atomic gas. Superconductors of the future Futuristic ideas for the use of superconductors are myriad: long-distance, low-voltage electric grids with no transmission loss; fast, magnetically levitated trains; ultra-high-speed supercomputers; superefficient motors and generators; inexhaustible fusion energy—and many others, some in the experimental or demonstration stages. But superconductors have been around for a long time. High-throughput superconductors Evolutionary improvements continue to be made to high-temperature superconducting materials for use as electrical conductors. Paul Arendt, a technical staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory, N.M., has developed a Flexible Superconducting Tape that goes beyond the evolutionary improvements to an enabling process improvement enhancing performance, lowering production cost, and increasing manufacturability.

Home Links Contact us About us ... Press releases COLUMBUS SUPERCONDUCTORS SpA Columbus Superconductors SpA, a joint stock Company, is a world leader in the technology of a new superconducting material, Magnesium Diboride, or MgB , and its transformation into long, reliable, and versatile superconducting wires. Superconducting wires are nowadays used in a number of industrial applications, with many more to come in the near future, thanks to the ongoing development of more performing materials, amongst which MgB represents a very promising option. MgB is the most recent solution for superconducting industries looking for innovation in their products. MgB has the advantage of a high superconducting temperature (40K), and excellent superconducting properties, without compromising its affordability and robustness, even when made into wires. Columbus Superconductors Spa is based in Genova, Italy. The company was originally created in early 2003 thanks to the cooperation between a public research institute (INFM, now CNR), a private company (ASG Superconductors Spa of the Malacalza Group) and 6 researchers: all of them were initially the main shareholders. has been finally initiated. Furthermore, in mid 2007, the new production plant has become operational. So far, about 200 Km of MgB

Public release date: 28-Nov-2001 E-mail Article Contact: Claire Bowles claire.bowles@rbi.co.uk New Scientist Superconductors that work at room temperature TINY tubes of carbon may conduct electricity without any resistance, at temperatures stretching up past the boiling point of water. The tubes would be the first superconductors to work at room temperature. Guo-meng Zhao and Yong Sheng Wang of the University of Houston in Texas found subtle signs of superconductivity. It wasn't zero resistance, but it's the closest anyone's got so far. "I think all the experimental results are consistent with superconductivity," Zhao says. "But I cannot rule out other explanations." At the moment no superconductor will work above about 130 kelvin (-143 ¡C). But if a material could carry current with no resistance at room temperature, no energy would be lost as heat, meaning faster, lower-power electronics. And electricity could be carried long distances with 100 per cent efficiency. Zhao and Wang studied the effects of magnetic fields on hollow fibres of carbon known as "multiwall carbon nanotubes". Each nanotube is typically a millionth of a metre long, several billionths of a metre in diameter and with walls a few atoms thick. The nanotubes cling together in oblong bundles about a millimetre in length. The researchers did not see zero resistance in their bundles. They think this is because the connections between the tiny tubes never become superconducting. But they did see more subtle signs of superconductivity within the tubes themselves.

Vendors Energy storage technologies do not generate electricity but can deliver stored electricity to the electric grid or an end-user. They are used to improve power quality by correcting voltage sags, flicker, and surges, or correct for frequency imbalances. Storage devices are also used as uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). by supplying electricity during short utility outages. Because these energy devices are often located at or near the point of use, they are included in the distributed energy resources category. The following technologies are discussed in this section, with more details below: Battery Storage Flow Batteries Flywheel Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) ... Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) Photo Source: UP Networks Battery Storage Utilities typically use batteries to provide an uninterruptible supply of electricity to power substation switchgear and to start backup power systems. However, there is an interest to go beyond these applications by performing load leveling and peak shaving with battery systems that can store and dispatch power over a period of many hours. Batteries also increase power quality and reliability for residential, commercial, and industrial customers by providing backup and ride-through during power outages.

Alex Mueller - Nobel Prize in Physics in 1987 for his discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in a new class of materials. Photos Courtesy of IBM More Images zSB(3,3) There are several different types of superconductors. The original superconductor was invented in 1911 by Dutch physicist, Heike Kammerlingh Onnes, when these superconductors are cooled, they act as a perfect conductors with no resistance. Onnes experimented with mercury, tin, and lead. Meissner Effect In 1933, Walther Meissner and R. Ochsenfeld discovered that superconductors are more than a perfect conductor of electricity, they also have an interesting magnetic property of excluding a magnetic field (Meissner Effect). A superconductor will not allow a magnetic field to penetrate its interior. It causes currents to flow that generate a magnetic field inside the superconductor that just balances the field that would have otherwise penetrated the material. Mysteries of Superconductors - BCS Theory In 1957, scientists began to unlock the mysteries of superconductors. Three American physicists at the University of Illinois, John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and Robert Schrieffer, developed a model that has since stood as a good example of why superconductors behave as they do and expressed the advanced ideas of the science of quantum mechanics. Their model suggested that electrons in a superconductor condense into a quantum ground state and travel together collectively and coherently.

Random Page Superconductors SHARE From GHN Jump to: navigation search Page created by SHH , 3 September 2008 Contributors: SHH Nbrewer Last modified by Nbrewer , 4 August 2009 Superconductors A current use of superconductors is to make magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of the human body. Powerful magnets made of superconducting material produce fields that penetrate the body, allowing cross sectional images like the one above to be made. Superconductors are materials that have no resistance to the flow of electricity, as all other substances have. Once merely a scientific curiosity, today’s engineers are searching for new kinds of superconductors that can be made into functional electrical wires or electron devices such as transistors. Resistance to electricity causes energy to be lost as heat. If superconducting materials could be used, this heat would not be generated, so that electricity flowing through wires would not be wasted and devices such as microprocessors would run cooler. The first superconductor was discovered by Dutch physicist, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes at the University of Leyden. In 1911 he found that mercury lost all its electrical resistance when it was cooled to extremely low temperatures. This intriguing property could not be used in electrical engineering because it was impractical to cool things to such low temperatures. Engineers at Westinghouse managed to make superconducting wire out of the element niobium in 1962, but it was not until 1975 that anyone made use of it—in that year it was used as part of a highly specialized scientific instrument called a particle accelerator.
