Abstract: When hearing about persistent currents recirculating for several year in a superconducting loop without any appreciable decay, we realize that we are dealing with a phenomenon wich in nature is the closest we know to the perpetual motion.
The zero resistivity and the perfect diamagnetism in Mercury at 4.2 K, the discovery of superconducting materials, finally the revolution of the “liquid Nitrogen superconductivity”: Nature discloses drop by drop its intimate secrets.
Nobody can exclude that the final surpreise must still come.

Superconducting resonant cavities-Didactic Material prof. Palmieri Enzo
Author: prof. Palmieri Enzo ; Type of thesis: Didactic Material
Abstract: There is no dubt that the subject of superconducting resonant cavities is a fascinating field both physical and engineering point of view.
The application of superconductivity to the world of resonant cavities has made achievable results unimaginable otherwise.
Independently of the special field of application, superconducting resonant circuits have superior performances compared to roo-temperatire circuits.
However the greatest resource of such devices stays not in the high quality of the results already obtained, but in all potential applications and new ideas that must be still developed.
