High-T/sub c/ superconductivity seeks a digital home

Two obvious applications of high-T/sub c/ superconductors are discussed: the use of Josephson technology at 77 K and the use of high-T/sub c/ lines for interconnects. The difficulties that must be addressed for each of these is discussed, and the prospects for overcoming them are assessed. The need to achieve full compatibility with polymers is stressed.<
