While researchers are working to understand the origin of superconductivity, technicians are working just as furiously to find new ways this remarkable effect can be put to use.
What are the possible applications for room-temperature superconductors? At this year's Industrial Physics Forum in Dallas, Texas, George Crabtree from Argonne National Laboratory gave a brief overview of the possibilities.
Power generation and storage hold a tremendous amount of promise. Nearly every step from power generation to delivery can be dramatically improved with the infusion of superconductivity.
