**SCOPE**
 Superconductivity is the flow of electric current without any                 resistance. It was first observed in 1911 at 4.2 K (-452°                 F), near absolute zero temperature by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes.                 It is accompanied by magnetic phenomena. This guide lists information                 sources on this subject which are located in the collections of                 the Library of Congress.
