What is a supermaterial? A concise definition is by no means
obvious, but a clue can be obtained from the topics discussed
here.. In addition to superconductors, the reader will encounter
magnetic effects of many kinds, including giant and even colossal
ones, organic conductors, photoconductors, and even 400-year-old
Japanese ceramics. Processing is a prominent pursuit in
supermaterials research, especially but not exclusively of the
superconductors. The papers on characterisation and theory break
new ground, particularly in pursuit of new optoelectronic
phenomena. The parade of new materials recently synthesised, often
containing four or more elements, is surprising. But it is in it
reporting of new applications that the book stands out: from
circuits to sensors, supermaterials are making their impact on
society.
