Focus
High Tc superconductors
- Focus issue:
- September 2007 Volume 6, No 9
High temperature superconductors (HTS) have entered the third decade since their discovery. In this focus we revisit the excitement following that breakthrough and we review the efforts by materials scientists to improve performances of these complex materials on the way towards commercialization of reliable and energy-efficient HTS applications
