The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing high-temperature superconducting yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) wire by 3D-printing, this method is divided into the following four steps: firstly, preparing a nano-level superconducting powder precursor; and then, preparing a printing paste with suitable viscosity and supporting characteristics; after that, using a CAD 3D modeling, exporting STL format model data and slicing by a professional software; implementing one-step preparing strands with low AC loss by twisting the print nozzle. Finally, the printed twisted wire is formed into a practical superconducting twisted cable through the processes such as plastic removal process, crystallizing process, oxygen supplementing process and assembling process in order. The present disclosure firstly provides an application for applying high temperature superconducting material to direct ink writing 3D-printing technology. By preparing micro/nano level superconducting core filaments based on 3D-printing, the diameter of the core filaments could be reduced, and thereby a material-structure integrative design could be implemented. The present disclosure simplifies the preparation of high temperature superconducting wires, improves the current-carrying capacity and the production efficiency of the high temperature super conducting wires, and reduces the production cost.

A superconductor having improved critical current density when exposed to high-energy neutron radiation and high magnetic fields, such as found in a compact nuclear fusion reactor, and a method of making the same are described. According to some aspects, the method includes, prior to deployment in the exposure environment, irradiating a polycrystalline superconductor with ions and/or neutrons at a cryogenic temperature to create “weak” magnetic flux pinning sites, such as point defects or small defect clusters. Irradiation temperature is chosen, for example as a function of the superconducting material, so that irradiation creates the beneficial flux pinning sites while avoiding detrimental widening of the boundaries of the crystalline grains caused by diffusion of the displaced atoms. Such a superconductor in a coated-conductor tape is expected to be beneficial when used as a toroidal field coil in a fusion reactor when cooled well below its critical temperature.
