Meissner effect

The Meissner Effect is a phenomenon observed in superconductors, where they expel magnetic fields when cooled below a certain temperature. This means that if you place a magnet over a superconductor, the magnet will levitate above it instead of falling. This effect demonstrates the unique properties of superconductors, which can conduct electricity without resistance. The Meissner Effect is not just about conductivity; it also shows how superconductors interact with magnetic fields, leading to potential applications in technologies like magnetic levitation and advanced electronic devices.
