I've been hearing superconductors is the future of technology and what not, but then i questioned what the actual uses of superconductors in modern day life. I know that its used in MRI machines but what else?

So is it possible for me to make a high temperature superconductor in a school laboratory?

Hey guys! I'm doing a science project on high temperature superconductors and i was just wondering, what kind of metals that can be bought will become a superconductor when put in liquid nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen of course is 63k so anything below 63 kelvins will not work, however if a metal...

My goal isn't simply trying to accelerate simple electrons but stronger and higher frequencies such as gamma rays. My hope is that I can generate a beam of gamma rays powerful enough to create anti matter.

I wonder if a simple particle accelerator that can be homemade. Well, I'm asking that because I recently read a book by Prof. Dr. Michio Kaku, "Physics of the Impossible" and he said in his book that he built a particle accelerator in his garage when he was in high school. I don't understand...

As the title already suggests, what does Newton's gravitational constant mean, and what it is, and how it is used in our universe? Hope you can help.

Lately I've been hearing about latest advancements in quantum computers, such as the chinese group breaks distance record for teleporting qubits (As seen on phys.org, Unfortunately i cannot post that link because i am new). I was just wondering if anybody could clear up what a quantum computer...

Thank you for clearing that up.

I know that we don't know what dark matter is but according to observations, dark matter is there. I also knew that the reason why we know dark matter is there is because the universe is supposed to slowly become more compact, but the reality is that its doing the exact opposite, its expanding...
