What phenomenon is similar to superfluidity discovered by Lee?
Superconductivity
Photosynthesis
Fermentation
Oxidation
Answer
Superconductivity is a phenomenon analogous to superfluidity, discovered by Lee. In superconductivity, materials exhibit zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields when cooled below a critical temperature. This behavior is attributed to the formation of Cooper pairs, which are pairs of electrons that behave as a single particle. Superconductivity has numerous applications, including in high-speed trains, medical imaging, and particle accelerators.
