New research opportunities in superconductivity

Reported are the discussions held at the Workshop on Problems in Superconductivity held at Copper Mountain, Colorado on 10-12 April 1988. The Workshop was organized in four sessions addressing fundamentals, materials, electronics and large-scale applications, with D.J. Scalapino, D.R. Clarke, J. Clarke and R.E. Schwall as discussion leaders, and A.F. Clark and D.K. Finnemore as co-chairmen. The report provides insight into the opportunities discussed by the Workshop members, identifies barriers to developmental progress and recommends specific areas of superconductivity research. © 1988.
