A transformative technology

Global challenges such as climate change, energy security, critical material demand, and healthcare innovation are converging—creating an urgent need for transformative solutions. High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) technology is poised to deliver breakthroughs in performance, efficiency, and accessibility across a wide range of industries, helping to address these challenges and accelerate the electric revolution.

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when cooled below their critical temperature, enabling the transport of high current densities with minimal power loss. Compared to traditional conductors like copper, superconductors offer higher current densities, improved efficiency, and reduced dependence on critical metals.

High temperature superconductors – such as REBCO (Rare Earth Barium Copper Oxide) – operate at significantly higher temperatures (20–77 Kelvin) compared to conventional  Low Temperature Superconductors (LTS), which require cooling to 4 Kelvin. This eliminates the need for complex liquid helium cooling systems, making HTS over five times more energy efficient and vastly more practical for widespread use.

When engineered into magnets, HTS materials produce exceptionally strong and stable magnetic fields. HTS magnets are compact, lightweight, and powerful – unlocking new possibilities in industries from energy and transportation to analytical science.

HTS Markets

HTS technology marks a step-change in performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness compared to conventional materials, with the potential to revolutionise multiple industries. By enabling compact, lightweight systems, HTS meets the growing demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, and sustainable solutions. It offers a distinct competitive edge for early adopters across sectors including energy generation, power distribution, scientific research, healthcare, and transportation.
