It will transfer electricity w/o any resistance or losses for instance.
Sufficiently pure aluminum is superconducting at 1.2 Kelvin. Many of the pure elements are superconductors at sufficiently low temperatures, but some of them require special conditions, such as platinum. Platinum doesn't superconduct unless it's in nanoparticles.
Yes, aluminum is an excellent heat conductor due to its high thermal conductivity. This is why it is commonly used in cookware and heat sinks for electronics to quickly and effectively transfer heat.
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.
Someone wrote "water". Styrofoam is much lower. If you have a foam cup of hot water and stick your finger in the water, you feel lots of heat. If you hold the cup, you feel far less heat. One of the keys to the low thermal conductivity of foam is that it's mostly just some gas, maybe air or nitrogen, with a support structure of polystyrene or some other plastic type material. Gases are not good conductors of heat.
No. A conductor is a good carrier of electricity or heat. A superconductor is a material in which the resistance to electrical flow is zero. Silver and copper are fairly good conductors, but some energy is lost.
No. Salt water is a conductor but not a superconductor.
American Superconductor was created in 1987.
No, aluminum foil cannot turn into a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero electrical resistance, whereas aluminum foil is a good conductor of electricity but not a superconductor. Superconductivity requires specific materials and conditions that aluminum foil does not possess.
No, graphite is not a superconductor because it does not exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields, which are defining characteristics of superconductors. Graphite is a good conductor of electricity but it does not display superconducting properties.
Superconductor
An ideal superconductor has exactly zero losses, thus resistance is zero.
No, water is not a superconductor. Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with no resistance at very low temperatures. Water does not have the properties necessary to exhibit superconductivity.
A superconductor floating works by using the Meissner effect, which causes the superconductor to repel magnetic fields. This creates a magnetic field that locks the superconductor in place above a magnet, allowing it to float without any friction or resistance.
