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.

HTS materials conduct electricity with virtually no power loss. When engineered into magnets, they generate exceptionally strong and stable magnetic fields within compact, lightweight systems –  unlocking new possibilities in applications ranging from energy and transportation to analytical science.

What is a superconductor?

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, stronger magnetic fields, improved efficiency, and reduced dependence on critical materials.

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.

HTS markets

HTS technology represents a step-change in performance, efficiency, sustainability and cost-effectiveness, with the potential to revolutionise a wide range of industries, including energy generation, power distribution, scientific research, healthcare, and transportation.
