High-temperature superconductivity Updated 2025-07-16
As of 2020, basically means "liquid nitrogen temperature", which is much cheaper than liquid helium.
The dream of course being room temperature and pressure superconductor.

. Source. Yttrium barium copper oxide Updated 2025-07-16
Upside: superconducting above 92K, which is above the 77K of liquid nitrogen, and therefore much much cheaper to obtain and maintain than liquid helium.
Downside: it is brittle, so how do you make wires out of it? Still, can already be used in certain circuits, e.g. high temperature SQUID devices.
Bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide Updated 2025-07-16
Discovered in 1988, the first high-temperature superconductor which did not contain a rare-earth element.

The opposite of quasiparticle, see notaby: quasiparticles vs elementary particles.

Strangeness Minus Three (BBC Horizon 1964)
Source. Basically shows Richard Feynman 15 minutes on a blackboard explaining the experimental basis of the eightfold way really well, while at the same time hyperactively moving all over. The word symmetry gets tossed a few times. Neutron star Updated 2025-10-14
Neutron stars are cool. What weird objects!
