Between 1986 and 1994 most advances in the field of
superconductivity related to the discovery of new superconductor "systems" and compounds.
In recent years, except for the discovery of several atypical superconductors,
superconductor news has been mainly about novel ways to employ the new generation of ceramic superconductors,
innovative fabricating
techniques and new PWD (planar weight disparity) superconductors. Those stories with a flashing arrow
are currently the most popular with readers.
