How Superconductors Work: Cooper Pairs & Zero Resistance

Below a critical temperature, electrical resistance doesn't just get small — it drops to exactly zero. A silent, animated explainer on the physics of superconductivity. Covered: • Resistance and its sudden death below the critical temperature Tc • Why an ordinary metal resists in the first place • Cooper pairs: how electrons team up via the lattice • The energy gap and the single condensate state • Where the simple story lies • The BCS mechanism: a self-made gap • The numbers, and the answer Built with Manim. No narration or music; everything is explained on screen.
