Rumford Professor of Physics Michael Tinkham has developed a theory during the last several months which predicts that using hightemperature superconductors to economize on transporting electricity will be a more difficult task than previously thought...
...conclusion is that this [resistance] is enough to cause serious difficulty in using [the superconductors] to construct magnets," said Tinkham, who has spent three decades studying superconductors. "It's nothing wildly revolutionary, although I think most people don't understand...
...Tinkham published an early version of his theory in a Swiss journal several months ago, and has written "The Resistive Transition of High Temperature Superconductors," which willappear in next week's Physical Review, apublication of the American Physical Society...
...high-temperature superconductors tolevitate trains or power super magnets, scientistswill either have to find a way to counter theresistance, or spend energy to cool thesuperconductors down, Tinkham argues...
...Nobel prize winners took the first step in an area which scientists have been trying to explore for over a decade. Since Bednorz and Mueller made their discovery, others researching high temperature superconductors have made further developments in the field, Tinkham said...
