To use or not to use cool superconductors?

Nature Materials· Volume 10· Issue 4

Abstract

The high critical temperature and magnetic field in cuprates and Fe-based superconductors are not enough to assure applications at higher temperatures. Making these superconductors useful involves complex and expensive technologies to address many conflicting physics and materials requirements.
