Superconductor
A superconductor is a material that exhibits noresistance to the flow of an electric current.
Once a flow of electrons is started in such a material,that flow continues essentially forever.

An unheard-of property in materials at or near room temperatures. All substances that conduct an electric current
copper, silver, and aluminium are among the best conductors exhibit at least some resistance to the flow of electrons. This resistance is somewhat similar to the friction that one observes in sliding
a smooth wooden block across a smooth wooden floor.
Resistance is, in most cases, an undesirable property for conductors. When an electric current is passed through a wire, for example, some of the
energy represented by that current is wasted in overcoming the resistance ofthe wire.
Only a fraction, even if it is a large fraction, of the energy can actually be put
to useful work.
Superconducting materials have the potential for revolutionizingelectrical devices.
Since they do not resist the flow of an electric current, all the energyrepresented by that flow can be used for practical purposes.

All electronic devices will operate moreefficiently if they are made from
superconducting materials rather than fromordinary conducting materials.
However, given the fact that those materialshave to be kept at the temperature of liquidnitrogen, those applications have only alimited commercial application so far.

The most powerful magnets are electromagnets
magnets that owe their magnetic properties to the flow of electric current
through a metal core.
The traditional way to make a more powerful magnet is to make the metalcore larger and larger.
The problem with this approach, however, is that the core needed to make
very powerful magnets is larger than can be used on a practical basis. Using superconducting materials, however, the flow of electric current is
more efficient, and a more powerful magnet can be made with a smallermetal core.

Perhaps the most famous application of superconducting magnets was theSuperconducting Super Collider (SSC).
The SSC was a machine designed to be used as a particle accelerator, or atom-
smasher, an instrument to be used for the study of subatomic particles(particles smaller than an atom).
The U.S. Congress approved the construction of the SSC in 1987 and funded theearly stages of its construction.
7 years later, Congress canceled the project because of its escalating costs. The
only reason the SSC was practical at all, however, was that the enormousmagnets it needed for its operation could be made from superconductingmaterials.
