To make YBCO tape, some manufacturers first use a laser to vaporize bulk YBCO into a plume. CFS has been working to establish additional suppliers in the United States, Europe, and Asia, and to develop manufacturing capabilities in-house, which will lay the groundwork for building fusion power plants in the future.
