Compact, reliable, low-cost cryocoolers operated simply by closing a switch are an essential requirement for the coming age of superconductivity and cold electronic systems. The advent of high-temperature superconductors has substantially eased the task of those seeking to fill the above need. This article reviews some recent developments in cryocooler systems and examined some prospects for the future.
