Hey, can one of the engineers on this thread explain to me the difference between a semiconductor and a superconductor (in lay terms, please)? And what is it, exactly, that these things "conduct"?

And while you are at it, I assume that "chip" is simply another name for a semiconductor, correct? Or is it a special kind of semicon.? Are there non-chip semicon.'s? If so, what do they do?

And when companies like Intel, or Nat. Semi., or Appl. Mat. diversify, what is it that they diversify into? Do semicon.'s have a variety of applications (like chips do)?

Just curious about all this, and have been for some time.

TIA, TC
