What type of phenomena did Giaever's Nobel Prize-winning research involve?
Superconductors
Black holes
DNA replication
Enzyme kinetics
Answer
Superconductors are materials that exhibit zero electrical resistance below a certain critical temperature. Giaever's Nobel Prize-winning research involved the study of superconductivity in thin films. He discovered that the critical temperature of a superconductor can be changed by applying a magnetic field, and he also developed a new method for measuring the critical current of a superconductor.
