Making and surviving
Coated conductor
A superconductor grown as a film on metal tape rather than drawn as wire. It makes brittle ceramic into something that bends, and the process is most of the price.
Why coated conductor matters
The superconducting film is a thin fraction of the tape. The substrate, the buffer layers and the metal around them are most of the cost and all of the mechanical behavior.
