Dr Andrew Steele explains how a superconducting magnetic levitation or maglev train works. [5 minutes]
An ongoing project on superconductivity produced to celebrate the centenary of the discovery of superconductivity in 2011. It consists of a series of video lectures by leading world experts in academia and...
One of a series of 13 short films about remarkable scientific discoveries by Nobel prizewinners and their colleagues. Looks at how the discovery that electricity flows with little or no resistance at...
Discusses and illustrates aspects of superconductivity: the main preparation processes of superconductors, physical (sputtering, laser ablation, molecular epitaxy) and electrochemical (anodical...
With the aim of linking issues in science, technology, society and the environment, looks at the possible political and economic repercussions of the discovery of superconductivity using ceramics at...
The second of three working videos course S343. [See synopses of individual programmes for details of content.]
Liquid crystal can be thought of as a fourth state of matter, between liquid and solid. The programme describes the three phases of liquid crystal: smectic, nematic and cholesteric. Friedrich Reinitzer’s...
George Bednorz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1987, talks about himself and his work on superconductivity.
Shows the intermediate-state structures of an evaporated superconducting lead film of 7mm thickness in a vertically applied magnetic field of variable amplitude. The domains have been made visible by means...
Three programmes telling the story of electricity and the history of its discovery and applications. The first programme SPARK, is about the very first scientists who studied electricity. Known as ‘natural...
