Superconducting Wire Unit
Environment and Energy Materials Division

We perform R&D in the field of applied superconductivity in order to mature and spread superconducting technologies.

Superconducting wires, which have many fine superconducting filaments with high current carrying capacity in metal matrix (e.g. Cu, Ag), are inevitable to realize superconducting applications. Our research activities cover materials science on expected superconductors (Bi-oxide HTS, MgB2, and Nb3Al) and also new superconductors, aiming to improve current carrying capacity and to obtain long wires. We also explore new superconductors for future wires. Magnet technologies and new applications are involved in our scope.
