Abstract
Bringing superconductors out of the laboratory and into the real world requires the skills of many disciplines. The scientific discoveries of solid-state and low-temperature physics must be developed into superconducting technology by material scientists, electrical engineers, vacuum scientists, and others. And the first step in creating a superconducting technology is the development of technologically useful superconductors.
