High-temperature superconductors (HTS) exhibit superconducting properties above the theoretical limit of -452° to -454° Fahrenheit (-269° to -270° Celsius). Copper-based HTS compounds were discovered in 1986, followed by iron and arsenic-based compounds in 2008. Ongoing research aims to engineer better compounds that can operate at room temperature, offering benefits such as reduced energy consumption and […]
