I'm working on a paper about superconductivity and man, I gotta say, this 8 minute video did so much more for me than staring at my modern physics textbook for half an hour. Keep up the great content! Subscribed
Hello Stephen, I am an IB student working on an essay on superconductivity as well, specifically the transition to zero resistivity. How did the essay go? I would be extremely grateful if you would send it to me to help me on my research! Thanks
A few remarks: - The most used superconductors, NbTi and Nb3Sn, are both type 2 superconductors but are also explained by BCS theory. BCS doesn't work for the high-temperature superconductors (HTS), like the ReBCO and BSCCO compounds. - We know, phenomenologically at least, quite a bit about how type 2 SCs work. - The Meisner effect, which you describe when talking about floating, is far too weak in most situations to make something float. You need flux vortex pinning in type 2 SCs. - The flux vortices don't expel the magnetic field, they let it through, one flux quantum per vortex. Because it costs energy to move these vortices, the material tends to keep its position and hence can float - Type 1 superconductors are almost useless in practice Still, your explanation of what is simply is, the history, and especially the explanation of BCS is very nice
he said in the vid type 1 superconductors are the talked about super conductors.. they dont know how type 2 super conductors work so why are you saying type 1 s uperconductors are almost useles in practice!?!??!
@@SmethiousReborn he's saying the majority of the things higginso said are for type 1 are actually for type 2. so all the cool stuff happens with type 2 conductors not type 1
Great video. Thank you for the work you put into your simulations, it makes everything so much easier to understand. In my biology class, we were talking about diffusion of water across a membrane. The teacher asked if the molecules would simply stop moving once equilibrium is reached, and I answered "no" because I remembered one of the simulations from your entropy video. The particles keep moving back and forth, and the multiplicity still stays the same. Thanks!
wait, what ? So, the resistance is ABSOLUTELY, PRECISELY, MATHEMATICALLY ZERO ? as in NULL ? OMG I mean I always assumed when they did the levitating superconductors thing the Eddy currents would eventually give way to gravity by bending eversoslightly and losing energy, but I guess that was just the temperature rising I mean I can't put into words just how INCREDIBLY NEAT that is Like, you would think that doing something like bouncing a lightbeam off of a spherical mirror would last forever, but it doesn't, and so many things in this universe bow down to entropy's clenching iron fist But the fact that you can have current going through a superconductor FOREVER just blew my mind
I exaggerated a bit because no matter what we measure there will always be some uncertainty in the measurements. So we don't know for sure that it is ABSOLUTELY, PRECISELY, MATHEMATICALLY ZERO :D But we know for sure the resistance is as good as zero, there was no intensity loss measured outside the uncertainty.. Also NULL is not zero it's nothing :p
There's also "time crystals", which are little quantum "perpetual motion machines", going theoretically forever without losing energy and increasing entropy.
For year 12 we have to write an article about any topic of our choice and give a lecture in front of our class,and have to pass this to get into yr 13. Its not too hard but I kinda now that feel since I have already written multiple articles where there was barely any material to learn from until I finish my articles. It's really annoying. What did you do your thesis on?
It’s been 3years since this video was released. My professor didn’t really explain superconductors last week and then just skipped to next new chapter by leaving a series of questions in the homework. Thanks for the video so much, it makes a lot of sense and make superconductivity so interesting to me!
A good curation of internet material is far superior than any university course if the material out there exists, and isn't cutting edge info that only the researchers themselves have. But professors rarely ever teach a class on their cutting edge material anyway.
@@gwho Kinda. The advantage of courses is feedback. If anything unclear you can often ask and get a direct answer way more easily than with the internet. Perhaps more importantly you get various knowledge checks so you can get feedback on things you didn't know you didn't understand. Though admittedly there is a lot of great stuff out there that can be more engaging or explain things better than some course can do in person. So there are pros and cons.
Visiting this video to find out what and what isn't possible with superconductors, now that a potential (it is not peer reviewed yet) type 2 super conductor could do for our society!
I love that I can use this video to show not just superconductivity, but conductivity, temperature-dependence conductivity, and resistance as well. In about 8 minutes, you taught an entire three-hour lecture for me. WHY?! Just kidding. Thank you for obviously taking a lot of time to illustrate it all so well.
I think they don‘t. They theorized it and try to prove it wrong until the can‘t. So those are just humans assumptions/perception of nature. Sometimes they can be wrong or not complete.
How a superconductor works. Everything from the physics and some of the history as well. Superconductors were discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes. It was discovered because it was made possible to liquefy helium which produced temperatures down to 2-4 kelvin. It was then discovered the resistance drops to 0 after the critical temperature. It is explained by BCS theory, how two electrons goes from fermions and bonds into a boson. This theory can be used to leviates trains or everything. Explained by the meissner effect. This video only cover type 1 and not type 2 superconductors.
Thank you for this video. I have been trying to learn about superconductors through reading the new papers on the ultra pressurized superconductors, but everytime Tc showed up I kept wondering "Why does the temperature have this effect?" Thank you giving me a start on why temperature gives this effect.
Nice video! just a small note, there are no maglev trains in existence that make use of this property. The one showed, the Transrapid, doesn't make use of superconductivity at all. The SC-Maglev in Japan _does_ use superconductivity, but this is to be able to create extremely energy efficient magnets, because no resistance means no energy lost.
I loved this video especially the animation!! It made the whole content so much easier to follow!!! If you dont mind telling me how do you make those animations, I've recently started teaching a class and want to give a go at it🙈
Another explanation is, " A super cooled magnet that is used as a super conductor is condensed metal from contraction of metal Inverting the magnetic poles of A magnet inward. ( Condensing fermions into bosons ) As the metal thaws from natural room temperature heat the bosons decompress into their original field states as fermions? What do you think? ( Cold contracts metals, Heat expands metal )
Based on this behavior essentially only needs electrons and a differential in positive and negative charged states with-in certain mediums: it actually only seems natural that this must be commonly present all around our environment. Probably in tons of ways we don't even see or realize. Electrons are everywhere, a differences in charges & states must be as common as the presence of hot and cold temperatures which cause places with high or lower pressure area's. Which causes wind, air movement, flow. This behavior in nature is key: nature seems to need a state of higher energy and a state of lower energy to create some form of fundamental aspect of functions with-in Nature. With those differences, nature finds ways to utilize it, have functional system's, which eventually get themselves self back to a more stable ground state. ~Differences~ or *fluctuations seems to be the core behavior of nature's "engine" to any given system in nature as we know it. This is really facinating to ponder about. Additionally, I once thought space was a complete vacuum. I saw something saying it's not a "complete vacuum" which is interesting. That seems to be just enough that it allows certain things and behaviors to occur throughout the Cosmo's. Which then seems to be the core backbone to most fundamental forces of nature. It strives to reach that stable ground state BUT it is capable of having areas of differentials. Those differences are the starter factor that gets most things rolling rather than staying static/stable or flat out inactive.
No problem man. I used to do web development and my teacher was very strict on getting the application to work for people using outdated internet explore - "You can't ignore the customers". Anyways my point is imperial units is the unit equivalent of outdated internet explorer ;)

THANK YOU for going into more detail!! Several videos about this topic, but none of them really explain much.
np glad you found it useful
one of the most didactic explanation of superconductivty I've ever seen! thank you! cheers from Brazil
Excellent video...made me imagened what actually superconductors are...thnx
When the video cuts to “why???” I nearly spat out my coffee! What amazing timing for that edit! Thanks for this awesome video:)
You explained everything crystal clear in just less than 9 minutes.

Yo super high quality amazing stuff bro
Thank you i appreciate it :D

What a good explanation!
well my question is how scientists observe those microscopic level moments/phenomena
I think they don‘t. They theorized it and try to prove it wrong until the can‘t. So those are just humans assumptions/perception of nature. Sometimes they can be wrong or not complete.
Thanku sir for this effort. My concepts are much better now. Thanku from bottom of heart
