...magnetic field, their electrical resistance reappears. Thus by alternately applying and withdrawing a magnetic field, scientists can turn a superconductor into an on-off switching device many times faster (and many times smaller) than the solid-state semiconductors now used computers. With cryogenic techniques, a closet-size computer could fit in a shoe box. Cryogenics will also make possible such esoteric devices as loss-free superconductive motors with rotors that float in liquid helium, and superconductive gyroscopes that float in frictionless magnetic fields...
