Cuprates are a class of materials that are primarily composed of copper and oxygen, known for their high-temperature superconducting properties. These materials exhibit superconductivity at temperatures significantly higher than traditional superconductors, making them a focus of research in condensed matter physics. The unique structure of cuprates, often arranged in layers, allows for the movement of electrons without resistance when cooled below a certain temperature. This phenomenon has potential applications in various technologies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and power transmission, making cuprates an important area of study in materials science.
