Description

For the last two years the subject of superconductivity has made headlines not only in scientific journals but also in trade and technical magazines, the general press, radio and television. In fact, the issue has been so popular that even politicians could not resist discussing it and has been, therefore, a favorite topic also of political debates. What makes superconductivity so attractive are the many spectacular applications that may become reality because of it and the far reaching economic implications of its successful use.
