Superconductivity in a Terrestrial Liquid: What Would It Be Like?

  • A. J. Leggett

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Although it seems rather unlikely that superconductivity could occur in the liquid state under ambient conditions, there seems to be no rigorous principle which forbids it. I raise, and make a first pass at answering the question: What would be the anomalous macroscopic properties of such an "ambient-conditions liquid superconductor"?.
