Superconducting (adjective)

Describing a material that has zero electrical resistance and can conduct electricity with 100% efficiency at temperatures close to absolute zero.

Origin:

Early 20th century: super- + conducting.

Examples:

1. Superconducting materials are used in a variety of applications, including in medical imaging, particle accelerators, and high-speed trains.
2. A superconducting wire can carry much more current than a normal wire.
3. Superconducting magnets are used in MRI machines to generate a strong magnetic field.
4. The superconducting state is a quantum phenomenon that can be observed only at very low temperatures.
5. Superconducting materials are used to create the strongest magnetic fields in the world in particle accelerators.
