What is the group photo?

The group's photo shows an example of the Meissner Effect, which is the formation of a magnetic field by a superconductor. An experiment by Walther Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld in 1933 demonstrated a uniquely defining property of the superconducting state.

The photo shows a magnet (the black disk) levitating above a superconductor that is cooled by liquid nitrogen.
