Superconductivity: Prospecting for an iron age
Paul M. Grant1
Abstract
Different material options for high-temperature superconductivity— conduction of electricity with little or no resistance at 'practical' temperatures — have arrived. Iron compounds are the latest thing.
High-temperature superconductivity is back in the public eye, and with a bang. But as ever with this topic, we must first journey back to 1986 and 1987, and to Georg Bednorz and Alex Müller1, and Paul Chu and his colleagues2.
- Paul M. Grant is at W2AGZ Technologies, 1147 Mockingbird Hill Lane, San Jose, California 95120, USA.
