Superconductivity is the promising characteristics which will be the dream technology to solve the present energy problem, if it is realized at normal temperature. Superconductivity had been seen only at low temperatures near absolute zero before the discovery of high temperature superconductors by Dr. Johannes Georg Bednorz and Dr. Karl Alex Müller. At this Science Cafe, we will listen to the talk of Dr. Bednorz who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1987 and enjoy discussion with him, what is superconductivity, how he won the Nobel Prize, and how he planned his research to make historical discovery.

Date : February 23 (Sat.) 14:00-16:00

Venue : WPI-AIMR Main Building 1st Floor, Katahira Campus, Tohoku University

Guest : Dr. Johannes Georg Bednorz, 1987 Physics Nobel laureate (IBM Fellow at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory)
