SUMMARY:Colloquium: Peter Hirschfeld (Univ of Florida)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Peter Hirschfeld (University of Florida)\n\nTitle: Sup
 erconductivity: there's plenty of cream at the bottom\n\nAbstract:&nbsp\;I
 n 1961\, Brian Pippard gave a speech at IBM called \"The Cat and the&nbsp\
 ;Cream\"\, in which he declared &nbsp\;that the superconductivity field wa
 s finished\, at least for \"young&nbsp\;innocents who wish to break new gr
 ound\": the cream&nbsp\;was gone\, and the bowl was empty.I show why the s
 ubsequent 6 decades&nbsp\;proved him so dramatically&nbsp\;wrong\, how new
  materials and experimental techniques have continuously&nbsp\;driven new 
 theoretical&nbsp\;understandings\, such that the field has been constantly
  renewed\, and is&nbsp\;in fact a very good place for&nbsp\;young research
 ers to make a career.\n\nMore information at: https://www.physastro.iastat
