| Such a phenomenon, called the Meissner effect, shows that a superconductor is not a perfect conductor with infinite conductivity. |
| In the past, the Meissner effect has been used to levitate a dipole magnet placed on the surface of a superconductor. |
| To the scientists' surprise, tests showed that the resulting compound is a superconductor at cryogenic temperatures below 18.5 kelvins. |
| The influence of magnetic substrate on the flux distribution in superconductor films may be modeled. |
| The group has realized large gains in cryogenics, gyroscope construction, and superconductor research. |
| The gyroscope spheres are coated with an ultra-thin layer of metal that becomes a superconductor. |
