Summarizing High-temperature Superconductors

High-temperature Superconductors Summary

• High-temperature superconductors are materials that become superconducting at temperatures well above a few kelvin.
• The critical temperature \({T}_{c}\) is the temperature below which a material is superconducting.
• Some high-temperature superconductors have verified \({T}_{c}\) s above 125 K, and there are reports of \({T}_{c}\) s as high as 250 K.
