Superconductivity
Genetics
Nanotechnology
Astrophysics
Answer
Superconductivity was the primary area of study in Giaever's Nobel Prize research. Superconductivity is the phenomenon where certain materials exhibit zero electrical resistance below a specific temperature, allowing electricity to flow without any loss of energy. Giaever's work focused on the development of tunneling spectroscopy, a technique that allowed him to study the electronic properties of superconductors at the atomic level.
