Developments in Superconducting Wires and Magnets

We have been developing superconducting wires and magnets for over 40 years and decided to focus on the NMR field in the early 1990s. Japan Superconductor Technology Inc., established in 2002, has successfully applied the R&D achievement of Kobe Steel to their production of superconducting wires and magnets. This article describes developments in superconducting wires and magnets with focus on the latest development.
