Recent advances in the preparation and processing of high-Tc superconductors (HTSs) are discussed in reviews and reports. Topics examined include HTS single crystals, ceramics, composites, substitution, casting and mechanical alloying, compaction, and chemical treatment; HTS films and coatings; HTS fibers, wires, tapes, ribbons, and sheets; HTS thermodynamics; physical properties; and mechanical properties. Particular attention is given to flux pinning in single-crystal YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O(7-x), screening of processing variables for YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O(x), the fabrication and evaluation of cermet HTSs, microstructures and intragrain critical current densities in YBa{sub 2}(Cu/1-x/M/x/){sub 3}O{sub 7}, hot compaction and forming of monolithic and composite oxide HTSs, processing chemically prepared Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu oxides, plasma-spray preparation of HTS coatings, melt-spinning/oxidation of Yb-Ba-Cu-O-Ag HTSs, O-18 effects in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O(7-delta), and oxidation kinetics and microcracking in YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O(7-x) ceramics.
