P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences
. The Institute was founded in 1934. The founder of the Institute, Prof. Kapitsa served as its head for many years. The head of the theoretical division of the Institute was Prof. Landau. The primary direction of research at the Institute is low temperature physics, such as superconductivity
and superfluidity. The theoretical division later became Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics

Superconductivity
Superconductivity is a phenomenon of exactly zero electrical resistance occurring in certain materials below a characteristic temperature. It was discovered by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes on April 8, 1911 in Leiden. Like ferromagnetism and atomic spectral lines, superconductivity is a quantum...
