Superconductivity: from fundamental science to high technologies of new century

Paper discusses the state-of-the-art of the basic researches in the field of superconductivity. The particular emphasis is placed on the application of high temperature superconductor (HTSC) base various facilities and devices. Paper analyzes application of HTSC-current terminals in the electric in the electric power supply lines, in superconducting magnets and engines, as well as, in the mobile telephone communication systems. First accelerated (72 MeV) beam was produced in Triton superconducting cyclotron. In the CERN electro-positron collider the beam energy reached 92 GeV due to 240 superconducting resonators. One ton of superconducting cable wire for the ITER was manufactured on the basis of Nb3Sn. The intensive efforts are in progress to design magnetic cushion transport vehicles
