Superconductors are remarkable materials which lose all electrical resistance when cooled below their "critical temperature". In addition, the electrons in a superconducting material all act in unison, which is called "quantum coherence". This leads to many special properties that are not displayed by ordinary matter, such as so-called "quantum levitation". There are many applications of superconductors, of which perhaps the most familiar are the Magnetic Resonance ...
