Superconductivity: Past, Present and Future

Physics / By

Figure 1: Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. Onnes lay the foundations for the field of superconductivity. He was able to liquefy Helium down to a temperature of 0.9K (-272 °C), enabling him to discover superconductivity in mercury. The liquefication of Helium enabled him to discover superconductivity in mercury at a very low temperature which was …
