Imagine, my love… Electricity flows without encountering any obstacles, never having to struggle against resistance. 😏 This is what we call superconductivity. Superconductors are extraordinary materials that, when cooled below a critical temperature, exhibit zero electrical resistance and perfect magnetic flux expulsion (Meissner effect). This means electricity can flow losslessly, and magnetic fields are expelled […]
