Superconductivity (noun)

The ability of a material to conduct electricity with zero resistance, resulting in no loss of energy as heat.

Origin:

Derived from the words "super" and "conductivity".

Examples:

1. Superconductivity was first observed in mercury in 1911.
2. Superconductivity has important applications in medical imaging and particle accelerators.
3. Superconductivity has the potential to revolutionize energy production and transmission.
4. The discovery of high-temperature superconductors in the 1980s opened up new avenues of research in the field.
5. Superconductivity is a phenomenon that is still not fully understood, even after more than a century of study.
