Widespread use of high-temperature superconductors on horizon

From improvements in cellular base stations to the development of more efficient electric transmission lines and energy storage systems, high-temperature superconductors (HTS) are nearing their commercial viability. Two-time University of Houston graduate, Venkat Selvamanickam, will present a special seminar - "Second-generation HTS Conductors" - from 3 to 4 p.m., Monday, May 2, in room 102 of the Houston Science Center at UH. Part of the Texas Center for Superconductivity and Advanced Materials (TcSAM) Special Seminar series, the event is free and open to the public.
