High-temperature superconductors are operatively defined as materials that behave as superconductors at temperatures above nearly -200 °C. This is in fact the lowest temperature reachable by liquid nitrogen, one of the simplest coolant in cryogenics. All superconducting materials known at ordinary pressures work far below ambient temperatures and therefore require cooling; the majority of high-temperature superconductors are ceramics materials. On the other hand, Metallic superconductors work below -200 °C: they are called low-temperature superconductors. Metallic superconductors are ordinary superconductors, since they were discovered and used before the high-temperature ones. Ceramic superconductors are now becoming suitable for some practical use, but they still have many manufacturing issues and there are few successful practical examples of employment. Most ceramics are brittle which makes the fabrication of wires from them problematic; the major advantage of high-temperature ceramic superconductors is that they can be cooled by using liquid nitrogen.

On the other hand, metallic superconductors require more difficult coolants - liquid helium. None of high-temperature superconductors are coolable using only dry ice, none of them works at room temperature and pressure. All high-temperature superconductors require some kind of cooling systems; the main class of high-temperature superconductors are in the class of copper oxides. The second class of high-temperature superconductors in the practical classification is the class of iron-based compounds. Magnesium diboride is sometimes included in high-temperature superconductors: it is simple to manufacture, but it superconducts only below -230 °C, which makes it unsuitable for liquid nitrogen cooling. For example, it can be cooled with liquid helium. Many ceramic superconductors physically behave as superconductors of the second type; the first high temperature superconductor was discovered in 1986, by IBM researchers Bednorz and Müller, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1987 "for their important break-through in the discovery of superconductivity in ceramic materials".

Some extremely-high pressure gases are categorized as high-temperature superconductors by theoretical physicists. In fact, many articles on high-temperature superconductors can be found on this theoretical research on high pressure gases, not suitable for practical applications but only for the theoretical mathematical explanation of the superconductivity phenomenon. Superconductivity was discovered in a metal solid. Since, researchers have attempted to observe superconductivity at increasing temperatures with the goal of finding a room-temperature superconductor. By the late 1970s, superconductivity was observed in several metallic compounds at temperatures that were much higher than those for elemental metals and which could exceed 20 K. In 1986, at the IBM research lab near Zurich, in Switzerland, Bednorz and Müller were looking for superconductivity in a new class of ceramics: the copper oxides, or cuprates. Bednorz encountered a particular copper oxide whose resistance dropped to zero at a temperature around −238 °C.

Their results were soon confirmed by many groups, notably Paul Chu at the University of Houston and Shoji Tanaka at the University of Tokyo. Shortly after, at Princeton University, Anderson gave the first theoretical description of these materials, based on the resonating valence bond theory, but a full understanding of these materials is still developing today; these superconductors are now known to possess a d-wave pair symmetry. The first proposal that high-temperature cuprate superconductivity involves d-wave pairing was made in 1987 by Bickers and Scalettar, followed by three subsequent theories in 1988 by Inui, Doniach and Ruckenstein, using spin-fluctuation theory, by Gros, Poilblanc and Zhang, by Kotliar and Liu identifying d-wave pairing as a natural consequence of the RVB theory; the confirmation of the d-wave nature of the cuprate superconductors was made by a variety of experiments, including the direct observation of the d-wave nodes in the excitation spectrum through Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy, the observation of a half-integer flux in tunneling experiments, indirectly from the temperature dependence of the penetration depth, specific heat and thermal conductivity.

The superconductor with the highest transition temperature is the cuprate of mercury and calcium, at around 133 K. The origin of high-temperature superconductivity is still not clear, but it seems that instead of electron-phonon attraction mechanisms, as in conventional superconductivity, one is dealing with genuine electronic mechanisms, instead of conventional, purely s-wave pairing, more exotic pairing symmetries are thought to be involved. In 2014, evidence showing that fractional particles can happen in quasi two-dimensional magnetic materials, was found by EPFL scientists lending support for Anderson's theory of high-temperature superconductivity; the "High-temperature" superconductor class has had many definitions in the context of superconductivity. The label high-Tc should be reserved for materials with critical temperatures greater than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. Ho

Gun laws in Tennessee regulate the sale and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of Tennessee in the United States. Places off-limits with a Handgun Carry Permit Tennessee State Constitution, Article I, Section 26, reads: That the citizens of this state have a right to keep and to bear arms for their common defense. State supreme court rulings and state attorney general opinions interpret Section 26 to mean regulation cannot and should not interfere with the common lawful uses of firearms, including defense of the home and hunting, but should only be aimed at criminal behavior. Andrews v. State and Glasscock v. Chattanooga defined the meaning of regulating arms. "Going armed", carrying any sort of weapon for offense or defense in public, is a crime, except carrying a handgun for defense is allowed with a state-issued permit. A license is required to carry a loaded handgun either or concealed; such permits are issued through the Department of Safety to qualified residents 21 years or 18 years old if the applicant is active duty, guardsman, or honorably discharged from their branch of service, DD-214 must mention'pistol qualification' in order to be exempt from 8 hour safety course must have a valid military ID.

The length of the term for the initial license is determined by the age of the applicant. If renewed properly and on time, the license is renewed every 8 years. Tennessee recognizes any valid, out-of-state permit for carrying a handgun as long as the permittee is not a resident of Tennessee. Nonresidents are not issued permits unless they are employed in the state; such persons are required to obtain Tennessee permits if they have home state permits unless their home state has entered into a reciprocity agreement with Tennessee. Permittees may carry handguns in most areas except civic centers, public recreation buildings and colleges. Businesses or landowners posting "no carry" signs may prohibit gun carry on any portion of their properties. Tennessee requires a permit to carry a firearm, whether or concealed. Additionally, per Tenn. Code Ann. 39-17-1351 r. a facially valid handgun permit, firearms permit, weapons permit or license issued by another state shall be valid in this state according to its terms and shall be treated as if it is a handgun permit issued by this state ).

A person possessing a firearm or ammunition in a motor vehicle, not otherwise prohibited from owning a firearm and is in lawful possession of the motor vehicle is not in violation of the open carry law in Tennessee as long as the firearm is not carried on one's person. Except for four specific exceptions, Tennessee's preemption statute prevents localities from enacting any new laws regulating the use, transfer, manufacture, possession, sale, gift, licensing, registration and transportation of firearms and ammunition; the current statute preempts any existing local law, ordinance or regulation concerning firearms, ammunition or their components. The exceptions allow localities to regulate 1) the carrying of firearms by their employees when acting in the course of the employees employment. Most aspects of licensed handgun carry are regulated by the state. At one time, Tennessee required a purchase permit for a handgun approved by one's city police chief or county sheriff with a fifteen-day waiting period.

Handguns in Tennessee are defined as having a barrel length of less than twelve inches per T. C. A. § 39-11-106. Some counties have adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions
