The symposium will broadly cover superconducting materials with emphasis on recent developments from basic science to applications. The symposium will have several focused areas: 1) newly discovered unconventional superconductors that include kagome superconductors, nickelates, twisted bilayer graphene/TMD, and topological superconductors; 2) novel synthesis approaches and induced superconductivity that include high pressure, interfacial coupling, doping, and out-of-equilibrium methods; 3) applications of superconducting materials in quantum computation and sensors, and energy and large-scale systems, such as prototype superconducting power devices, conductors for high field magnets, accelerators, and newly proposed fusion reactors. The symposium encourages discussions on addressing challenges in the development of superconducting qubits through the identification of the noise sources, so are discussions addressing the performance of superconducting wires, such as homogeneity through length, cost-effectiveness, high throughput, and scalability.

The superconducting materials of interest include conventional low-temperature superconductors for electronics and sensors, intermetallic superconductors, medium- and high-Tc superconductors (cuprates, iron-based compounds, MgB₂), and very high-T_c hydride superconductors, as well as other emergent materials exhibiting unconventional superconductivity.
