Bad metals making great superconductors is like an inspirational quote in itself
Thank you for making these maps, it takes subjects that are not necessarily digestible by everyone and breaks them down to where even non-physicists can understand them, all the while still being respectful of people's intelligence. Much appreciated!
Filming in the woods was a very cool idea...the greenery is pretty eye soothing...do such more often
The fact that this channels videos are free is just insane

Correction at 12:00 - SQUIDs aren't used in MRIs, MRIs use conventionally conducting receiver coil, rather they're used in magnetoencephalography and magnetocardiography machines.
Nice map and I enjoy your videos. I would like to mention an additional and interesting technology made possible by superconductors. Superconductors can be used to detect light on the single photon level with great precision. These superconducting nanowire single photon detectors SNSPD work by breaking down the superconduction of a wire when a photon impinges on a superconducting wire. They are around since the early 2000s and are used in the field of quantum optics. Currently the SNSPDs are setting the gold standard for single photon detection and can achieve a near unity detection efficiency.
A very nice and well done quick overview over a complex field which hit the sweet spot of not to trivial to be wrong and not to complex to kick 99% of the people out very well. One thing for the back side of the map: the magic angle of bilayer graphene.
DFTBA! Nerdfighter here, but Anton Petrov (What Da Math?!) brought me here. Great stuff!
I like how DoS also means Density of States, one of the key things studied in superconductivity
Great video! I am a PhD student in mechanical engineering and focused in thermal energy systems and sustainability. That being said, I have zero background in this subject haha. This was super informative and easy to digest. Keep making great videos!
Map of biomaterials next?
I love your pictures about the map of the science series. How about making those maps not only a poster but also a mouse pad? it would be really fascinating and I'm sure that many people would like it.
Physics is the most beautiful, incredible and important knowledge ever created
His voice is therapeutic ๐
Dominic is such an excellent science communicator! ๐ฎ he could teach anybody anything ๐ ๐
I very much enjoyed your video, but to be honest, I've got to watch it several more times to digest all of the information. Great job.
13:21 Superconducting trains are already a thing now. Currently holding the title of Worldโs fastest train at 600+ km/hr SCMagLev is in operation in Japan.
My Map of Quantum Physics poster is my favourite thing in my room!!
