The Meissner Effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state.

Superconductors have zero electrical resistance, enabling them to conduct electricity without loss of energy.

Cooper pairs consist of two electrons that are bound together at low temperatures in a superconductor, which are responsible for superconductivity.

The critical temperature is the temperature below which a material exhibits superconductivity.

Type I superconductors are characterized by a single critical magnetic field, whereas Type II superconductors have two critical fields and can enter a mixed state.

Flux pinning is a phenomenon where the magnetic flux lines are trapped and immobilized in a Type II superconductor due to defects in the material's crystal lattice.
