  • Abstract
    There are advantageous, unique applications of superconductivity that are already in use and others that will be realized in the coming years and decades. The quantum nature of superconductivity that fascinated many of us in the 1960s continues to lead to new inventions in electronics. And the remarkable current carrying properties of superconductors, including the high temperature materials, will continue to lead to new, more efficient power applications.
