su·per·con·duc·tiv·i·ty  (spr-kndk-tv-t)
n.
The flow of electric current without resistance in certain metals, alloys, and ceramics at temperatures near absolute zero, and in some cases at temperatures hundreds of degrees above absolute zero.

super·con·ductor (-dktr) n.

superconductivity [ˌsuːpəˌkɒndʌkˈtɪvɪtɪ]
n
(Physics / General Physics) Physics the property of certain substances that have no electrical resistance. In metals it occurs at very low temperatures, but higher temperature superconductivity occurs in some ceramic materials

superconductivity  (spr-kndk-tv-t)
The ability of certain metals or alloys to conduct an electric current with almost no resistance. Superconductivity usually occurs close to absolute zero, at temperatures approaching -459.67°F (-273.15°C), but has also been observed at temperatures as high as -200°F (-128.88°C).

Properties and the BCS theory of Superconductors are discussed.
Unfortunately, there were two fateful flaws in the BCS theory that resulted in a failure to correctly apply the currency principle on the policy level.
Chapters cover the BCS theory of nodal superconductors, highly correlated particle systems and the composite operator method, diagonalization- and numerical renormalization-group-based methods for interacting quantum systems, and unconventional superconductivity.
