A successful theory will be necessary, however, for researchers hoping to find still better superconducting materials and to put them to practical use.
Last week a Presidential panel released a report calling for a more vigorous national effort to develop superconducting materials.
The President's program comes eight months after the first announcement that physicists had discovered new superconducting materials.
Advances have been made in the performance of superconducting materials.
Section three of the book is on various experimental and theoretical methods used to identify new superconducting materials.
Now that the basic recipe for the superconducting materials has been discovered, making them is easy.
The new superconducting materials may let designers pack many more squids together.
The advances in superconducting materials make magnetic-levitation technology more promising than ever.
They had seen the effects of such superconducting material.
Some experts have suggested that the new superconducting materials could finally make fusion a practical reality.
