Abstract :
The author summarizes the progress in materials science and engineering that created today´s superconducting technology. He reviews the state of the technology with conventional materials by looking at two particular applications: large-scale applications involving conductors, for example, magnets; and electronics and instrument applications. The state-of-the art is contrasted with the present understanding of the high-Tc oxide materials
