0 a substance, especially a metal, that allows an electrical current to move freely through it at a very low temperature
Today, most bolometers use semiconductor or superconductor absorptive elements rather than metals.
The boundary conditions for the gluon field are those of the dual color superconductor.
He is notable for his work in quantum many-body theory of complex materials ranging from organic superconductors to biomolecules to rare-earth oxide catalysts.
In an actual superconductor, the charged particles are electrons, which are fermions not bosons.
Suppose that a superconductor contains bosons with charge "q".
He elaborated a theory of twinning planes' superconductivity, predicted elementary (pancakes) vortices discovered further on experimentally in layered superconductors.
Work supported under the programme will include research into materials and device applications, as well as research aimed at producing superconductors that work at room temperature.
Since the introduction of new, high-temperature superconductors, efficent transmission with much cheaper and more readily available hydrogen and nitrogen coolants is now feasible.
