About this site
Superconductor Tracker follows high-temperature superconductors out of the laboratory and into industry: who makes the conductor, what gets built from it, and which projects put it in the ground. It is free, every entry is sourced, and it is written for people who need to know where the industry is heading rather than how the physics works.
What the site covers
The subject is the conductor itself: high-temperature superconducting tape and wire, the hardware built from it, and the money moving through that chain. That covers tape factories and capacity expansions, the cables, magnets, fault current limiters and generators made from the tape, the projects installing them, and the funding rounds and contracts behind all of it.
Framing the site around the conductor rather than around one industry is deliberate. It is why a fusion magnet supply deal, a data centre cable and a new wire plant belong on the same website.
What it leaves out
Fusion, grid and data centre news with no superconductor content is out of scope, however large the story. So are room-temperature superconductivity claims and materials research with no route to a built thing, low-temperature superconductor work except as direct comparison, conventional non-superconducting products from companies otherwise covered here, and market forecasts with no primary data behind them.
The two data pages
The cable projects table is a register of superconducting cable and power-system installations worldwide: grid cables, fault current limiters, rail and industrial feeds. It is deliberately narrower than the site. Fusion magnets and data centre installations are covered editorially rather than in the table.
Where the tape goes covers the rest: the applications consuming superconducting conductor today, the volume each one takes, and what that means commercially.
Sources and corrections
Every project row carries a link to a public source, and every figure in an article is linked to where it came from. Nothing here is confidential or proprietary; it is public information, compiled and kept current.
The data may still contain errors, and some fields are marked as unverified where the public record disagrees with itself. Always check against the linked source before relying on a figure. Corrections are welcome and acted on: email [email protected].
