Superconductivity: Turn up the temperature
Piers Coleman1
Abstract
A more elaborate picture is developing of what makes some materials superconduct at relatively high temperatures. With it come hints for how to design materials with still higher transition temperatures.
Discovered a hundred years ago, superconductivity describes the flow of electric current without resistance in metals. Most metals do not become superconducting until cooled to within about ten degrees of absolute zero.
