What are high-temperature superconductors used for?
High-temperature superconductors are now used mostly in large-scale applications, such as magnets and scientific apparatus. Overcoming barriers such as alternating current losses, or high manufacturing costs, will enable many more applications such as motors, generators and fusion reactors.
Can high-temperature superconductors be used to cool LTS?
Broader applications of LTSs have been hindered by the need to cool them with liquid helium (at or below 4.2 K). High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) (1) that can operate at liquid nitrogen temperatures (between 65 and 80 K) promised ubiquitous applications that could escape the constraint of LTSs.
