The Holy Grail of Condensed Matter Physics

Superconductors, materials that conduct electricity without resistance, are everywhere, though not as many places as we might like. But if these materials are so well known, why are physicists still studying them? NIST Physicist and CNAM member Nick Butch explains "The Magnetic Allure of Superconductivity" in the Taking Measure official blog of NIST.
