On January 23, 2026, from 9:00 to 17:00, our research group successfully held the "Symposium on Enhancing Comprehensive Performance of High-Temperature Superconductors." The meeting focused on the latest advances in both fundamental and applied research of high-temperature superconducting materials, bringing together invited experts from within and outside the institute, as well as young researchers and postdoctoral fellows from the laboratory. Together, they explored recent breakthroughs in the preparation, regulation, measurement, and application of high-temperature superconducting materials.

The symposium commenced under the direction of Professor Kui Jin, the group leader. Oral presentations centered on key areas such as the growth of high-temperature superconducting thin films, interface studies, fabrication processes, device development, and underlying physics, showcasing the group’s solid foundation and accumulated expertise. Engineer Qian Li, Deputy Director of the laboratory, delivered a report titled "Development of a Digital-Intelligent Platform for High-Temperature Superconducting Thin Films and Research on Plasticity Regulation of High-Temperature Superconductors." The presentation highlighted the demand for plasticity in critical applications of high-temperature superconductors and explored potential approaches for plasticity regulation in such materials.

The symposium also featured a special invited talk by Professor Yanwu Xie from Zhejiang University, who presented recent progress in the physics of high-temperature superconducting interfaces. Professor Yihua Wang from Fudan University shared insights into the application of Scanning SQUID microscopy in the study of unconventional superconductors, demonstrating the vital role of advanced characterization techniques in understanding superconducting mechanisms. Other distinguished invited experts, including Professor Yue Wang from Peking University, Professor Ge He from Beijing Institute of Technology, Professor Jing Guo from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Special-Term Researcher Zhen Chen from the same institute, participated throughout the event, contributing to a vibrant atmosphere of academic exchange.

In conclusion, Professor Kui Jin summarized the day’s presentations, expressing full recognition of the group’s progress in areas such as plasticity enhancement of high-temperature superconductors and low-power applications. He encouraged all participants to continue contributing to the advancement of superconducting science and technology in China.
