Superconductivity has many applications in medicine, science, electrical engineering, electronics, transport and mechanical engineering. For example, future fusion power plants are not possible without large superconducting magnets for guiding the plasma. Since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in 1986 R&D in superconductivity is rapidly increasing.
