Beakthrough Towards Highest-performance Superconducting Wire Beating Copper on Price Performance
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6PV2J)
High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) wires must be be better than copper wire on price-performance metrics before copper can be widely replaced. A HTS wire segment shows the energy density properties that are five to ten times better than commercial HTS wire. It will need to be scaled up to the hundreds of tons of production ...
