Physicists at Boston University Build First Successful High Temperature Superconductor Lead--Superconductor Successfully Carries Over 13,000 amps

Physicists at Boston University have successfully developed a high-temperature superconductor lead that can carry massive amounts of electrical power without transmitting heat. The lead's potential applications are vast, including electromagnetic boats and elevators.

ORNL Signs CRADA With American Magnetics Inc.

The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has signed a CRADA with American Magnetics Inc. to produce high-temperature superconductor leads, promising improved energy efficiency and smaller size in cryogenic systems. The new leads will be stronger, carry more current, and reduce cryogen costs.
