superconducting sensor
1Cryogenic particle detectors — operate at very low temperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. These sensors interact with an energetic elementary particle (such as a photon) and deliver a signal which can be related to the type of particle and the nature of …
2conductive ceramics — Introduction advanced industrial materials that, owing to modifications in their structure, serve as electrical conductors. In addition to the well known physical properties of ceramic materials hardness, compressive strength,… …
3Mathematics and Physical Sciences — ▪ 2003 Introduction Mathematics Mathematics in 2002 was marked by two discoveries in number theory. The first may have practical implications; the second satisfied a 150 year old curiosity. Computer scientist Manindra Agrawal of the… …
4Magnetometer — A magnetometer is a measuring instrument used to measure the strength or direction of a magnetic field either produced in the laboratory or existing in nature. Some countries such as the USA, Canada and Australia classify the more sensitive… …
5Nobel Prizes — ▪ 2009 Introduction Prize for Peace The 2008 Nobel Prize for Peace was awarded to Martti Ahtisaari, former president (1994–2000) of Finland, for his work over more than 30 years in settling international disputes, many involving ethnic,… …
6Geophysical MASINT — is a branch of Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT) that involves phenomena transmitted through the earth (ground, water, atmosphere) and manmade structures including emitted or reflected sounds, pressure waves, vibrations, and… …
7Cryogenic current comparator — The cryogenic current comparator (CCC) is used in the electrical precision measurements to compare electric currents and/or to determine electric current ratios with highest accuracy. This device exceeds the accuracy of other current comparators… …
8Charge-coupled device — A specially developed CCD used for ultraviolet imaging in a wire bonded package. A charge coupled device (CCD) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for… …
9Technological applications of superconductivity — Some of the technological applications of superconductivity include: the production of sensitive magnetometers based on SQUIDs fast digital circuits (including those based on Josephson junctions and rapid single flux quantum technology), powerful …
