HTS (high-temperature superconductors)

High-temperature superconductors (HTS) are materials that conduct electricity without resistance at relatively higher temperatures than traditional superconductors. Unlike conventional ones requiring extremely cold conditions, HTS operate at temperatures that can be cooled using liquid nitrogen, making them more practical for applications. They can transmit electrical power efficiently with minimal energy loss, enabling advancements in power grids, magnetic imaging, and transportation technologies. HTS are typically complex ceramic compounds, and their unique ability to become superconducting at higher temperatures stems from their specific atomic structures, making them a significant focus of research for sustainable and efficient energy solutions.
