Basic experimental and theoretical results on ruthenates and rutheno-cuprates are reviewed. The electronic structure of various ruthenates and exotic superconductivity in Sr₂RuO₄ with spin-triplet pairing are described. The complex phase diagram of Ca_2-xSr_xRuO₄, involving competing magnetic phases and metal-insulator transitions, is described, as are the exotic magnetic properties of Sr₃Ru₂O₇ and of the double perovskite Sr₂YRuO₆, and the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism in the rutheno-cuprate RuSr₂GdCu₂O₈. Possible applications of Sr₂RuO₄ and SrRuO₃ are considered. The effect of strong electron correlations is discussed, and the properties of ruthenates and cuprates are compared.
