Such materials are used extensively in medical and power applications, e.g. MRI and NMR machines. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDiscovering Superconductivity\u003c\/i\u003e uses a series of practical and investigative activities, which can be used as tutor demonstrations or as student lab exercises. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis highly illustrated text features the following sections: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/i\u003e - including a brief history of superconductivity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSuperconductivity\u003c\/i\u003e - an explanation of the phenomenon and its effects\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eSuperconducting materials\u003c\/i\u003e - including High \u0026amp; Low temperature superconductors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eApplications\u003c\/i\u003e - how superconductivity is used in medical imaging, at CERN and in the Maglev trains\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis text will serve as an excellent introduction for students, with or without a physics background, to superconductivity.

The minds-on approach takes this a stage further by requiring the learner to engage with the process to a greater extent.\"\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45091240247447,"sku":"9781119991403","price":3709.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781119991403.webp?v=1769204028","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/discovering-superconductivity-an-investigative-approach-9781119991403","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
