The basics
High-temperature superconductor (HTS)
The families that superconduct above roughly 30 K, and among them the cuprates that run on liquid nitrogen rather than helium. The refrigerant changes the economics of everything built on them.
Why high-temperature superconductor matters
Liquid nitrogen costs a fraction of liquid helium and needs a fraction of the plant, so crossing 77 K changes what a project can afford to build.
Where high-temperature superconductor comes up
