High-Temperature
Superconductivity (HTS) |
Overview
Superconductors are important to meeting the nation's
energy needs in the future because they have virtually no resistance
to electric current, offering the possibility of new electric power
equipment with more energy efficiency and higher capacity than today's
systems. Superconductivity technology may help reduce the need for
new electric power generation during the next three decades.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory initiated research
in high-temperature (20 K up to 135 K) superconductivity in 1988,
soon after its discovery in 1986.
