Superconductivity in Space
Superconducting Material Discovered in Meteorite Super: Mundrabilla Meteorite First Evidence of Superconductivity in Space There is superconductivity in space naturally occurring. That's the shocking discovery just made by scientists at the University of California San Diego. The UC team led by Dr. Ivan Schuller found trace amounts of superconducting material in one of the world's largest meteorites, Mundrabilla that landed in Australia. It weighed 22 metric pounds and broke into pieces on impact. The superconducting material found in Mundrabilla is a known alloy of indium, lead and tin. But the fact that it is contained in a meteorite came as a shock. This is the first evidence of superconductivity in space. ...
