The phenomenon of superconductivity can carry electricity without losses that can give tremendous opportunities in the development of modern technology. However, a perfectly suitable for use in various tasks, a superconductor should be able to work under different conditions of temperature and magnetic field. Experts from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have learned to adapt superconductor optimized for the conditions under which it will operate. Optimization is conducted by introducing the nanoscale defects in its structure.
The sample is made with the use of technology developed at the Oak Ridge laboratory showed previously unseen performance of the critical current density. Superconductor operate at a temperature of 65 Kelvin, at a magnetic field of 3 Tesla-conditions in which hypothetically will run superconducting generators and motors, could move it through the SC 43.7 per square centimeter. The data rate is more than twice the overlap need solutions which might be applied to superconductors.
