In less than two decades the concept of supercon- In every field of science there are one or two ductivity has been transformed from a laboratory individuals whose dedication, combined with an innate curiosity to usable large-scale applications.

For the field of titanium alloy marketplace, and the economic forces that drive tech- superconductivity, such an individual is Ted Collings. nology soon focused on niobium-titanium alloys.
