Because refrigerating superconductors to the cryogenic temperatures needed by current ones is expensive, severely limiting the applications they are used in.

  • Metallic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid helium.
  • Copper oxide ceramic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid nitrogen.
  • Room temperature superconductors, if they exist, would need little or no cooling.
