Clean environment, global peace, mitigating climate change, financial growth, and future development of the world require new materials that improve the quality of life. Superconductivity, in general, allows perfect current transmission without losses. This makes it a valuable resource for sustainability in several aspects. High-temperature superconducting (HTSC) materials will be crucial for sustainable everyday applications and more attractive for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Superconducting magnets can be used as high-field magnets in magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear magnetic resonance, water purification, magnetic drug delivery, and so forth. Hunger can be partly avoided if there is sustainability in agriculture. In future, DC electric energy from solar plants in Africa could be transported worldwide, especially to cold countries, using superconducting cables. Superconducting technology is an efficient way to create sustainability as well as reduce greenhouse gases.

This book presents the latest global achievements in the processing and applications of high-Tc superconductors and discusses the usefulness of the SDGs. It summarizes the related advances in materials science and developments with respect to the SDGs. The book also covers large-scale applications of HTSC materials, which will be connected to the SDGs, addressed by several eminent scientists, including Prof. M. Murakami, president, Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan; Prof. D. Cardwell, pro-vice chancellor, University of Cambridge, UK; and Prof. N. Long, director, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.



This book presents the latest global achievements in the processing and applications of high-Tc superconductors and discusses the usefulness of the SDGs. It summarizes the related advances in materials science and developments with respect to the SDGs.

Muralidhar Miryala is deputy president and board of councilor at Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), Japan, and professor at the Graduate School of Science and Engineering, and College of Engineering, SIT. His main task is to transform SIT into a high-rank university. To accomplish this goal, he has been working towards designing numerous innovative programs to enhance global initiatives for SIT. Consequently, his interest in the applications and technology of bulk single-grain superconductors led him to develop a new class of mixed LRE-123 system that can be used up to 15 T at 77 K and high temperatures up to 90.2 K. He also developed a novel technology to produce a RE-123 type silver-sheathed wire on the basis of the solid-state/liquid-phase reaction. His intellectual mindset enabled him to produce a small-type superconducting bulk magnet that is useful for magnetizing both high-Tc superconducting materials and magnetic materials in a variety of industrial applications. Dr. Miryala also contributed towards the development of DC superconducting cable for railway system applications. He has authored or co-authored more than 500 scientific contributions in international journals and delivered over 140 oral presentations, including plenary and invited ones. He holds several Japanese national and international patents. He has received several awards for his research contributions, including the prestigious 2021 Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award by the Government of India.
