SUPERCONDUCTOR

Specialty Definition: SUPERCONDUCTOR

DomainDefinition

Electrical Engineering

Substance exhibiting or capable of exhibiting superconduction. Source: European Union. (references)

Energy

A synthetic material thathas very low or no electrical resistance. Such experimental materials are beinginvestigated in laboratories to see if they can be created at near room temperatures. Ifsuch a superconductor can be found, electrical transmission lines with no little orno resistance may be built, thus conserving energy usually lost in transmission.Superconductors could also have uses in computer chips, solid state devices andelectrical motors or generators.
