Heike Kamerlingh Onnes “the gentleman of absolute zero”, discovered Superconductivity on April 1911. Onnes won the Nobel Prize in 1913, just two years after his incredible discovery. Onnes died in 1926.
In 1898 Onnes’ rival, James Dewar, beat him in the race to liquefy hydrogen. Onnes then moved on to a new goal, liquefying helium, and this time, Onnes beat Dewar in the race, producing the first liquid helium in July 1908. Though he only liquefied a tiny amount of helium at that time, the liquefaction of helium made it possible to cool other substances to such low temperatures. Onnes managed to cool the liquid to about one degree above absolute zero, at the time the coldest temperature ever achieved.“The resistance of pure mercury at helium temperatures,” Communications from the Physical Laboratory at Leiden, April 1911. “On the Sudden Change in the Rate at which Resistance of Mercury Disappears.” November 1911. Soon after finding the effect in mercury, Onnes showed that tin and lead also become superconducting at low temperatures. In 1913 Onnes first used the term “supraconductivity,” to describe the effect; later he changed it to “superconductivity.” By 1914 he had found another interesting feature: he started a supercurrent flowing in a lead wire, and a year later, found that it was still flowing, with no noticeable change. Onnes himself had believed that quantum mechanics would explain the effect, but he wasn’t able to produce a theory.

In 1961, Deaver, Fairbank, Doll, and Näbauer showed that a closed superconducting loop will contain integers of flux quantum, which in units of magnetic flux is Φ0≈2.0678×10-15Wb. A Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) is a device that can measure the number of these flux quantum that are threading a superconducting loop. Currently SQUID can detect magnetic fields of around 10-15T and they have noise levels as low as 3fT×Hz-1/2.

Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald ReaganIn Moscow. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1955 with a degree in law
On May 31, 1988 President Ronald Reagan addressed the students and faculty at Moscow State University (MSU). Although previous presidents desired such an opportunity, no other U.S. president except Richard M. Nixon had stood east of the Berlin Wall and spoken directly to the citizens of the Soviet Union.

Comparative study of the Electronic specific heat in the superconducting state for a mixture of d-wave and isotropic s symmetry.(b)The s-wave gap is determining the Tc, while the second gap (d-wave) increases in value.(b) The d-wave gap drives the Tc, the s-gap appears as a small jump in the background of the d-wave symmetry.
