The lab uses superconducting technology to work toward an energy society in harmony with the environment.

AboutAbout the lab
Balancing limited energy resources with the global environment
The Superconductivity Science and Engineering Lab conducts research and development using superconducting technology, aiming to realize an advanced energy society that is compatible with the global environment.
Superconducting wires can carry a current more than 100 times larger than conventional materials such as copper and aluminum, with negligible loss.
The lab develops measurement and evaluation techniques that characterize superconducting materials at the wire level, and conducts research on improving material quality and on power applications.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Kisu Lab."
Key terms
- Superconducting wire
- A material with superconducting properties formed into a wire. It can carry a large current with negligible loss.
- Bi-based high-temperature superconducting wire
- A type of wire that exhibits high-temperature superconductivity. Commercial production has now begun.
