Low temperature is a factor to increase electrical conductivty.
Certain materials become superconductors when cooled to very low temperatures, usually near absolute zero. This allows them to conduct electricity with zero resistance, leading to unique properties like the expulsion of magnetic fields and the ability to levitate.
Because at present all superconductors must be super-cooled in a coolant such as liquid nitrogen to become superconductors.
Materials need to be cooled below a certain temperature called the critical temperature, at which they undergo a transition from a normal conductor to a superconductor. They also need to be in a state of superconductivity, where they exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields. Additionally, the material's crystal structure and electron pairing mechanism play a role in determining its superconducting properties.
Only a few of the materials that have been supercooled have become superconductors, and not all of those are metals. There have even been some organic superconductors discovered.
Some electrical conductors become superconductors when cooled to near absolute zero. This means they can conduct electricity with zero resistance, allowing for efficient electrical transmission and various technological applications.
There are certain ceramics (e.g. barium-copper-oxide ceramics) that become superconductors when cooled in liquid nitrogen. But at higher temperatures these ceramics are insulators like any other ceramics.
Yes, subject to fulfiiiment of certain conditions
Turning to stone, also known as petrification, is a process where living organisms or organic material gradually become mineralized or calcified, resulting in a hardened, rock-like structure. This can occur naturally over long periods of time under certain environmental conditions, or it can be a characteristic of certain medical conditions in humans and animals.
Most of the metals can be superconductors if you freeze them enough. They reach superconductivity bellow a temperature called the critical temperature (Tc). So the answer is: Freeze them below Tc. The higher the critical temperature, the better.
No, ammonia is not combustible, meaning it cannot catch fire. However, when ammonia is mixed with certain substances, it can become potentially explosive under certain conditions.
No, only certain materials can become superconductors. These materials form Cooper Pairs with their conduction band electrons at low temperature, making the electrons coherent (analogous to photons in a LASER beam). This coherence prevents resistance to current flow. Most insulators lack conduction band electrons. High temperature copper oxide ceramic superconductors are an exception as they lack conduction band electrons, but their copper oxide structure is highly distorted in a way that allows bound electrons to form Cooper Pairs.
