Magnetic levitation of superconductor
Demonstration of magnetic levitation of one of the new high-temperature superconductors - yttrium- barium- copper oxide (Y-Ba2-Cu3-O7-x). Discovered in 1986, the new superconducting ceramic materials are expected to lead to a technological revolution & are the subject of intensive worldwide research. The photograph shows a small, cylindrical magnet floating freely above a nitrogen-cooled, cylindrical specimen of a superconducting ceramic (made by IMI Ltd). The glowing vapour is from liquid nitrogen, which maintains the ceramic within its superconducting temperature range. Photographed at the University of Birmingham

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of magnetic levitation using a high-temperature superconductor. The image showcases one of the groundbreaking discoveries in modern science - yttrium-barium-copper oxide (Y-Ba2-Cu3-O7-x), a new class of superconducting ceramic materials that were first unveiled in 1986. These materials have sparked immense excitement worldwide due to their potential to revolutionize technology. In this photograph, we witness an enchanting sight as a small cylindrical magnet hovers effortlessly above a nitrogen-cooled specimen of the superconducting ceramic. The vaporous glow emanating from the liquid nitrogen envelops the ceramic, maintaining it within its critical temperature range for superconductivity. The implications of this demonstration are profound. Superconductors possess zero electrical resistance when cooled below their critical temperature, allowing for efficient and lossless transmission of electricity. This breakthrough has far-reaching applications across various fields such as energy transmission, transportation systems, and medical imaging technologies. Taken at the University of Birmingham by Science Photo Library, this image encapsulates both the beauty and scientific significance behind magnetic levitation using high-temperature superconductors. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in search of technological advancements that can shape our future for the better.
