超导率为100多年。它大多被认为是实验室好奇心，但这项研究领域赢得了六名诺贝尔奖虫奖，拥有在研究领域的大量科学家和工程师。

Cathy Foley博士将讨论超导历史，它只能在200摄氏度的“高”温度下（在20年前发现）或“低温”温度约为270摄氏度（100年前发现）。

Dr Foley will explain what superconductivity is, and what is understood (and what is not) about this exciting but baffling property that many materials possess when they are cooled down past a critical temperature. She will look at applications such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), mineral exploration, magnetoencephalography, transport and power distribution and superconductivity use in the development of fusion as a future energy source. Dr Foley will then look into the future to see where superconductivity will play a role in the modern world—including quantum computers and quantum teleportation—and ask whether superconductors that operate at room temperature (and do not need cooling) are possible./p>
