Abstract
In 1911 H. Kamerlingh Onnes discovered the abrupt vanishing of the electrical resistance of mercury at 4.2 K and called this phenomenon “superconductivity”. Today, more than half a century later, superconductivity is still a fascinating topic both as regards basic research and applications. The main ideas of our present understanding of superconductivity are discussed. Furthermore, the problems involved in developing a superconductor suitable for technical applications are described. These applications started with the construction of very large superconducting magnets.
Nach einem Vortrag aus Anlaß der 106. Versammlung der Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte am 5. Oktober 1970 in Düsseldorf.
