title: Biotemplated synthesis of an ordered macroporous superconductor with high critical current density using a cuttlebone template.
abstract: Periodic superconducting, porous self-supporting monoliths were synthesized using cuttlebone as a morphological template; this produced a lightweight, structurally stable superconductor with a greatly improved critical current density.
