It is worth pointing out that Iter started in 1985, I think before REBCO was discovered (and it was a little bit after that they acheived superconductivity at 77K, liquid nitrogen temp). Sturdy and flexible tape form from ion beam-assisted deposition I think was later but I can't find the date.
(edit: maybe in the lab in 1992? I'm not sure when it scaled production: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_wire#cite_note-20 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_wire#cite_note... )
- fabian2k 6y agoPractical use of the new high-temperature superconductors in high field magnets is even more recent. NMR is probably the closest commercial application for this kind of magnet, and the first spectrometers using the new superconductors were sold last year.
