Abstract:
It could take at least a decade to develop high-temperature superconductors suited to practical applications. Economic considerations suggest that the new materials will have their biggest impact not on large-scale applications in the electric-power industry or transportation but on smaller devices for manufacturing, electronics and medicine.
