High-Temperature Superconductivity is the Quantum Leap in Electronics

Yogendra Kumar

Abstract: The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in 1986, is greatly influenced in the field of electronics. Superconductors and superconducting materials conduct electricity without resistance and can transport electrons with no resistance, and hence release no heat, sound, or other energy forms. Compared to traditional materials superconducting materials open up possibilities for new technological applications in the field of electronics. The present paper considers to what extent there is a need for HTS in up-to-date engineering and estimates their potential and evaluates future applications in electronics.
