The
IEEE Council on SuperConductivity, CSC promotes programs
and activities that cover the science and technology of
superconductors and their applications. Superconducting
applications span the range from small scale analog and
digital circuits and systems, to large scale applications
of electrical power generation, storage, and transmission.
Applications include the development and enhancement of
the associated materials.
The
IEEE CSC distributes technical information mainly through
its quarterly publication of the IEEE Transactions on
Applied Superconductivity. To subscribe, click

DISCOVERY OF SUPERCONDUCTIVITY DESIGNATED AS
IEEE MILESTONE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING.
The discovery of superconductivity by Prof. Heike Kamerlingh Onnes and his colleagues on 8 April 1911 was officially designed as an IEEE Milestone during the 100th anniversary celebration of the discovery at the University of Leiden, Leiden, The Netherlands, on 8 April 2011. Prof. Moishe Kam, President and CEO of IEEE, presented the Milestone Plaque to the University during the celebration which was cosponsored by the IEEE Council on Superconductivity, the IEEE Benelux Section, the University of Leiden, Philips Research, and the Museum Boerhaave,.
