Sec. 111.102.  POWERS AND DUTIES.  (a)  The center shall operate in the field of superconductivity to:
(1)  conduct experimental and theoretical research;
(2)  apply findings of basic research to useable products;
(3)  act as a center of education;
(4)  encourage interuniversity and interdepartmental research collaborations;  and
(5)  act as a repository for knowledge and literature.
(b)  In carrying out its duties, the center shall perform research and development on superconductivity relating to the theoretical research in superconductivity;  experimental research on superconducting materials;  experimental research in the fundamental conditions necessary for superconductivity;  application of new and existing superconducting materials to solve problems of industry and research, including superconducting electrical generators and magnets for medical applications, high magnetic field research, levitation in transportation, and for high energy acceleration;  research in the materials science and metallurgical aspects of superconducting materials;  research and development of the apparatus needed for low temperature works;  and perform other research and provide other services consistent with the purpose and duties of the center.
