A Summary of the Course

  • Conference paper
The Science and Technology of Superconductivity

  • 107 Accesses

Abstract

After Dr. Langenberg’s masterful talk on superconducting technology and its implications for the coming decade, my job of giving the summary talk is immeasurably easier. Dr. Langenberg has reviewed most of the technological aspects of the subject and given us some insight into the probable future of their development. Since we have had the experts in the various areas of superconductivity come and talk about their work, I will not attempt to review each and every contribution to the meetings. What I hope to do is to briefly outline these sessions, indicate where various applications fit into the general area of superconductivity research, and point out some of the areas of this research which particularly interest me — in terms of problems to be solved, big and small, either by the experimentalist or by the theorist.
