American Physical Society. (2011: Anaheim, Calif.)
Centennial of superconductivity [sound recording], 2011 May 1.
Audio recording of session J2 of the April 2011 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Anaheim, CA in April 2011. This session was sponsored by the Forum on the History of Physics (FHP) and chaired by Martin Blume of Brookhaven National Laboratory and the American Physical Society (APS). Talks (and speakers) include: "Superconductivity: Anatomy of a Discovery" (Peter Pesic); "Superconductivity at 100 - what materials will serve us in the next century?" (David Larbalestier); "Superconductivity Beyond Superconductors" (A. Zee). Topics discussed include the discovery of superconductivity by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes; James Dewar; Gilles Holst; magnets; magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR); large accelerators; particle physics; and quantum field theory.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
