High‐ T c , flexible MgB 2 ‐nanowire‐based superconducting arrays are fabricated via a direct pen writing method on both copper foils and poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrates. Such superconducting arrays constitute a new approach for fabricating superconducting devices. The realization of a PDMS‐based device demonstrates the potential for expanding this material into other high‐ T c superconductor systems, which may lead to novel ways of driving the development of “real‐life” applications.
