Title :
Superconductors — “Resistance is futile”
Author :
Shah, Aman A. ; Bhatnagar, Tilak
Abstract :
Superconductors are substances that when brought down to extremely cold temperatures do not provide any resistance to the flow of an electric current. Within our poster, we shall provide detailed information on the two main types of superconductors: type I, the conventional, and type II, the " high temperature " superconductors. In addition, we will detail the seemingly fictional phenomena of levitation caused by magnetic fields and the Meissner effect. We shall also look into steps being taken towards increasing the critical temperature required for substances to enter a superconductive state, such as "self doping," and metamaterial.
