🧲 High-Tc Superconductivity: Meissner Levitation Simulator (2D)

2D cross-section simulator of the Meissner effect: cool a superconducting disk below its critical temperature and watch a magnet levitate as flux lines are expelled, with a live resistance-vs-temperature chart for real materials.

A 2D cross-section Meissner-effect simulator: cool a superconducting disk below its critical temperature and watch a magnet levitate as flux lines are expelled around it. Switch between real materials (Hg, Nb, MgB2, YBCO, H3S, LaH10), drag the magnet to see flux pinning hold it off-center, and read a live resistance-vs-temperature chart showing the sharp drop to zero at Tc.
