Two of its consequences, which have been of particular importance in my work, are mentioned here. One is the Meissner screening of a magnetic field by a normal metal backed by a superconductor, one of the most striking manifestations of the proximity effect. The other one is the occurrence of large thermodynamical fluctuations near the critical temperature, in a range that has become experimentally accessible in the High Temperature superconductors due to their short coherence length, giving access to the pinning potential of these materials.
