Superconductor (noun)

1. A material that conducts electricity with zero resistance, meaning no energy is lost as heat in the process of conducting electricity.
2. A material that is capable of exhibiting superconductivity at certain temperatures and magnetic fields.

Origin:

Coined in 1911 by h. k. onnes, superconductor is derived from the prefix "super" meaning "above" or "beyond" and "conductor" meaning a material that conducts electricity.

Examples:

1. Superconductors are used in particle accelerators, MRI machines, and power generators to improve efficiency.
2. The discovery of high-temperature superconductors has opened up new possibilities in the field of electrical engineering.
3. The superconducting magnets used in MRI machines produce an extremely strong magnetic field.
4. The development of superconductors has revolutionized the field of electrical engineering by making electrical transmission more efficient.
5. Superconductors have applications in energy transmission, magnetic levitation and other advanced technologies.
