Abstract
The invention provides a superconductor comprising particles made of a metallic boride superconductive material, and a conductive material. The conductive material is selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in proximity to the superconductive material. An unbroken length of the conductive material is located sufficiently close to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the superconductive material.

A superconductor comprising:
- particles made of a metallic boride superconductive material;
- and
- a conductive material selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in proximity to the superconductive material, an unbroken section of the conductive material being located sufficiently close to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the superconductive material.
A method of making a superconductor, comprising:
- forming a plurality of particles of a metallic boride superconductive material;
- and
- locating a conductive material adjacent the superconductive material, the conductive material being selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in close proximity to the superconductive material and an unbroken length of the conductive material being in sufficiently close proximity to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the particles.
A superconductor comprising:
- particles made of a superconductive material having a critical temperature of at least 35K;
- and
- a conductive material selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in proximity to the superconductive material, the conductive material contacting each of a plurality of the particles and an unbroken section of the conductive material being located sufficiently close to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the superconductive particles.
A superconductor comprising:
- particles made of a superconductive material having a critical temperature of at least 35K;
- and
- a conductive material selected to be driven to a superconductive state when in proximity to the superconductive material and having an electron-phonon coupling coefficient of at least 0.2, an unbroken section of the conductive material being located sufficiently close to a plurality of the particles to be driven to a superconductive state by the superconductive particles.
