High-temp superconductivity
High-temperature superconductors carry electricity with zero resistance at far higher (though still cold) temperatures than classic superconductors; the ultimate goal is room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductivity.
Loss-free power transmission, ultra-strong magnets for fusion and maglev, and efficient electronics would follow — a transformative materials breakthrough.
High-Tc materials are used in magnets and research; a practical room-temperature superconductor remains unconfirmed and intensely pursued.
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Matter & Materials center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at high-temp superconductivity: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
