Our research is driven by the challenge to understand and control the basic properties required for the practical implementation of superconducting materials. This includes all the material aspects that play a role in tuning the superconductor properties as well as innovative approaches to the processing of superconducting wires and tapes.

Our activities focus on the development of both low- and high-T_c superconductors for applications in various fields, from the high field magnets for NMR/MRI systems and particle accelerators to the emerging applications in the electric power infrastructure.
