About Superconductors
Superconductors are materials that allow the passage of electricity with zero resistance at their critical temperature (Tc). Due to zero resistance, there is no loss of energy in the form of heat or sound. A superconductor is not affected by external magnetic fields when in its superconducting state due to the Meissner effect, which is a unique property exhibited by them. The demand for superconductors has been increasing rapidly due to their wide adoption in various applications in the commercial, medical, and industrial sectors.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global superconductor market to grow at a CAGR of 3.64% over the period 2014-2019.
