Education
Cool a material down and watch its resistance plummet sharply to zero right at its critical temperature — a real, cited value for an actual superconducting material, not an approximate round number. Below that temperature, the Meissner effect kicks in live: an external magnetic field's lines route around the material instead of penetrating it, flipping the moment the temperature crosses the threshold. A classic magnet-levitation animation caps it off as a visual payoff tied directly to that same field-exclusion effect.

About Superconductivity Demonstrator
Superconductivity Demonstrator is an interactive learning tool on VTC. Cool a material down and watch its resistance plummet sharply to zero right at its critical temperature — a real, cited value for an actual superconducting material, not an approximate round number. Below that temperature, the Meissner effect kicks in live: an external magnetic field's lines route around the material instead of penetrating it, flipping the moment the temperature crosses the threshold. A classic magnet-levitation animation caps it off as a visual payoff tied directly to that same field-exclusion effect. It runs in your web browser and is free to use, and suits students, teachers and self-learners.
