Justis superconductivity experiment
Justis superconductivity experiment. Experimental equipment used in superconductivity research by the electrochemist Eduard Justi. The experiment was carried out in Berlin, Germany, in 1941. Justi worked with niobium nitride (NbN) and obtained a superconductivity temperature of 16 Kelvin (-257 degrees Celsius). This temperature was the highest superconductivity temperature attained at that time. Superconductivity is a phenomenon where the structure of a material allows unimpeded flow of electrons, usually only at low temperatures. Some forms of superconductivity can be explained by Bose-Einstein condensates, predicted by Bose and Einstein in the 1920s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking Justis superconductivity experiment conducted by renowned electrochemist Eduard Justi in Berlin, Germany, back in 1941. The experimental equipment depicted here played a pivotal role in advancing research on superconductivity during that era. Justi's pioneering work focused on niobium nitride (NbN), and his remarkable achievement was obtaining a superconductivity temperature of 16 Kelvin (-257 degrees Celsius). At the time, this marked the highest temperature at which superconductivity had been observed, making it a significant breakthrough in the field. Superconductivity is an extraordinary phenomenon where certain materials allow electrons to flow without any hindrance, typically occurring only at extremely low temperatures. This mesmerizing effect has been attributed to Bose-Einstein condensates as theorized by Bose and Einstein in the 1920s. The historical significance of this image lies not only in its portrayal of cutting-edge scientific experimentation but also in its representation of German contributions to physics and chemistry during that period. It serves as a testament to Eduard Justi's expertise and dedication towards unraveling the mysteries surrounding superconductors. Preserved by Science Photo Library, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into an important chapter of scientific history—ushering us into an era where researchers like Eduard Justi paved the way for future advancements and deeper understanding within the realm of superconductor research.
