Superconductivity in Space: Neutron stars and gravity waves
Fri Jul 29 8:00pm - 9:00pm
Location: Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre A
Presented by A/Prof Andrew Melatos
Along with its strange cousin, superfluidity, superconductivity governs the behaviour of matter at the extreme conditions found inside supernova remnant neutron stars. Glitches in the crust of the neutron star and the super-strong magnetic field from the stars promise floods of gravity waves that one day soon we may be able to detect on Earth.
