Oct 3, 2023 · Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, credited with the discovery, won a Nobel Prize in 1913. Superconductivity at room temperature remains elusive a century after a Nobel went to the scientist who...
Oct 4, 2023 · On April 8, 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes scribbled in pencil an almost unintelligible note into a kitchen notebook: "near enough null." The note referred to the electrical...
Nov 16, 2023 · Physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes sees the electrical resistance of solid mercury drop to zero once below a ‘transition temperature’ of 3 kelvin.
Aug 17, 2023 · Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, born on September 21, 1853, in Groningen, Netherlands, left an indelible mark on the field of physics through his pioneering contributions to low-temperature physics...
Feb 14, 2024 · But a breakthrough came in 1908 when the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes became the first to liquefy helium. Onnes then used his findings to chill various materials and measure their properties, which led to his discovery of superconductivity in 1911.

Aug 16, 2023 · Superconductivity, a fascinating phenomenon in physics, was discovered in 1911 by physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.
Jan 18, 2024 · The story began in 1911 when the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes observed that the electrical resistance of mercury abruptly dropped to zero when it was cooled to a temperature of about 4...
Dec 7, 2023 · A century of superconductivity. Mercury was the first material discovered as a superconducter, by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911. His team had to cool liquid helium to -454 degrees Fahrenheit (-270 degrees Celsius) to observe the effect.
Oct 3, 2023 · 5d ago. Superconductivity may sound like science fiction, but the first experiments to achieve it were conducted over a century ago. Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, credited with the discovery, won a Nobel...
