Coil of superconducting wire. The wire seen here is about ten metres in length,and is made of an alloy of niobium. When cooled below a critical temperature (about 10 to 20 Kelvin),the wire loses its electrical resistance and becomes superconducting. This is used in the production of extremely powerful electromagnets | |
