Poster Print : Magnetic levitation of superconductor
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Magnetic levitation of superconductor
Demonstration of magnetic levitation of one of the new high-temperature superconductors - yttrium- barium- copper oxide (Y-Ba2-Cu3-O7-x). Discovered in 1986, the new superconducting ceramic materials are expected to lead to a technological revolution & are the subject of intensive worldwide research. The photograph shows a small, cylindrical magnet floating freely above a nitrogen-cooled, cylindrical specimen of a superconducting ceramic (made by IMI Ltd). The glowing vapour is from liquid nitrogen, which maintains the ceramic within its superconducting temperature range. Photographed at the University of Birmingham

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 54.1cm x 42cm (21.3" x 16.5")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of magnetic levitation using a high-temperature superconductor. The image showcases one of the groundbreaking discoveries in modern science - yttrium-barium-copper oxide (Y-Ba2-Cu3-O7-x), a new class of superconducting ceramic materials that were first unveiled in 1986. These materials have sparked immense excitement worldwide due to their potential to revolutionize technology. In this photograph, we witness an enchanting sight as a small cylindrical magnet hovers effortlessly above a nitrogen-cooled specimen of the superconducting ceramic. The vaporous glow emanating from the liquid nitrogen envelops the ceramic, maintaining it within its critical temperature range for superconductivity. The implications of this demonstration are profound. Superconductors possess zero electrical resistance when cooled below their critical temperature, allowing for efficient and lossless transmission of electricity. This breakthrough has far-reaching applications across various fields such as energy transmission, transportation systems, and medical imaging technologies. Taken at the University of Birmingham by Science Photo Library, this image encapsulates both the beauty and scientific significance behind magnetic levitation using high-temperature superconductors. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in search of technological advancements that can shape our future for the better.
