Question 17GS4GS3

How do superconductors fuel innovation in diverse fields of science and technology? Illustrate with examples.

Main Body

Superconductors are defined as materials that allow complete awaverat to flow through them without obstruction via Messner effect. Eg. Liquid helium Fuel Innovation in Diverse Fields: (1) Electricity Transmission: 100% efficient with transmission losses due to formation of copper Parallel of electric Fig: Expansion of magnetic field (Messner effect) (2) Superfluidity: Can be understood only superconductor (3) Properties at Absolute Zero: Matter behaves different at OK or -273

4Nano-Technology: Can be impacted with superconductor. (5) Use in MRI: machine that we superconductor to made body in non-invasive way (6) Use in Space research: due to novel application & properties (7) Sensors: Can be used to study effect on DNA & phosphate backbones (8) Military Applicature: to build shiny communication system (Reno Rao Committee) (9) Quantum Technology: Need absolute temp & superconductor to maintain "supersupaction" & entanglement (10) Artificial Intelligence: Needs superconductor to increase efficiency of power transformer.

11Electricity Generator: Can be made less expensive using them. Eg. Suspension of anti-hydrogen along in superconductor mercury.
