  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Superconductors may be considered perfect diamagnets, and completely expel magnetic fields due to the Meissner effect when the superconductivity initially forms; thus superconducting levitation can be considered a particular instance of diamagnetic levitation. In a type-II superconductor, the levitation of the magnet is further stabilized due ...

  3. Meissner effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meissner_effect

    The experiment demonstrated for the first time that superconductors were more than just perfect conductors and provided a uniquely defining property of the superconductor state. The ability for the expulsion effect is determined by the nature of equilibrium formed by the neutralization within the unit cell of a superconductor.

  4. Superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconductivity

    A superconductor can be Type I, meaning it has a single critical field, above which all superconductivity is lost and below which the magnetic field is completely expelled from the superconductor; or Type II, meaning it has two critical fields, between which it allows partial penetration of the magnetic field through isolated points. [32]

  5. Superdiamagnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdiamagnetism

    Superdiamagnetism established that the superconductivity of a material was a stage of phase transition. Superconducting magnetic levitation is due to superdiamagnetism, which repels a permanent magnet which approaches the superconductor, and flux pinning, which prevents the magnet floating away. Superdiamagnetism is a feature of superconductivity.

  6. Levitation (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levitation_(physics)

    a high-temperature superconductor levitating above magnet. Magnetic levitation is the most commonly seen and used form of levitation. This form of levitation occurs when an object is suspended using magnetic fields. Diamagnetic materials are commonly used for demonstration purposes.

  7. LK-99 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99

    LK-99 (from the Lee-Kim 1999 research), [2] also called PCPOSOS, [3] is a gray–black, polycrystalline compound, identified as a copper-doped lead‒oxyapatite.A team from Korea University led by Lee Sukbae (이석배) and Kim Ji-Hoon (김지훈) began studying this material as a potential superconductor starting in 1999.

  8. High-temperature superconductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-temperature...

    Furthermore, high-temperature superconductors do not form large, continuous superconducting domains, rather clusters of microdomains within which superconductivity occurs. They are therefore unsuitable for applications requiring actual superconductive currents, such as magnets for magnetic resonance spectrometers. [ 32 ]

  9. Focal adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_adhesion

    Immunofluorescence coloration of actin (green) and the focal adhesion protein vinculin (red) in a fibroblast. Focal adhesions are visible as red dots at the end of the green bundles. In cell biology , focal adhesions (also cell–matrix adhesions or FAs ) are large macromolecular assemblies through which mechanical force and regulatory signals ...
