| 释义 | superconductivity[ soo-per-kon-duhk-tiv-i-tee ] / ˌsu pərˌkɒn dəkˈtɪv ɪ ti / noun Physics.the phenomenon of almost perfect conductivity shown by certain substances at temperatures approaching absolute zero. The recent discovery of materials that are superconductive at temperatures hundreds of degrees above absolute zero raises the possibility of revolutionary developments in the production and transmission of electrical energy. Origin of superconductivityFirst recorded in 1915–20; super- + conductivity OTHER WORDS FROM superconductivitysu·per·con·duc·tion [soo-per-kuhn-duhk-shuhn], /ˌsu pər kənˈdʌk ʃən/, nounsu·per·con·duc·tive [soo-per-kuhn-duhk-tiv], /ˌsu pər kənˈdʌk tɪv/, su·per·con·duct·ing, adjectivesu·per·con·duc·tor [soo-per-kuhn-duhk-ter], /ˌsu pər kənˈdʌk tər/, nounWords nearby superconductivitysupercollider, supercolumnar, supercolumniation, super-committee, supercomputer, superconductivity, superconductor, supercontinent, supercool, supercow, supercrat Dictionary.com UnabridgedBased on the Random House Unabridged Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2020 British Dictionary definitions for superconductivitysuperconductivity / (ˌsuːpəˌkɒndʌkˈtɪvɪtɪ) / nounphysics the property of certain substances that have no electrical resistance.

Cultural definitions for superconductivity (2 of 2)superconductivity [ (sooh-puhr-kon-duk-tiv-uh-tee) ] A property of some materials in which their electrical resistance drops to zero, and they acquire the ability to carry electric current (see also current) with no loss of energy whatsoever. Formerly, materials developed superconductivity only at temperatures near absolute zero, but new materials have been found that remain superconductive at temperatures above those of liquid nitrogen. The goal of current research is to find a material that remains superconductive at room temperature.

Scientific definitions for superconductivitysuperconductivity [ sōō′pər-kŏn′dŭk-tĭv′ĭ-tē ] 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).
