Water condensators...

Does water condensate quicker on black magnets than on other materials?

If not, what material condensate water best?

Cold material
 
If you mean adsorption when you say condensation the theoretical answer is simple: highly polar pores with a size just slightly larger that the water molecule. You know these small silica pellets they use to keep electronic gear dry? Quite a good thing to start with. If something is polar you will usually have little problem adsorbing water.

And nautica already said it: temperature is quite an important factor in the equation.
 
Thank you very much!

Thanx!

Could this be used to make materials superconducting?
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
