SUPER CONDUCTORS Superconductivity is an electrical resistance[->0] of exactly zero which occurs in certain materials[->1]below a characteristic temperature[->2]. It was discovered by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes[->3] in 1911. Likeferromagnetism[->4] and atomic spectral lines[->5]‚ superconductivity is a quantum mechanical[->6]phenomenon.
