Superconductors have already been put to impressive use. They are essential to the powerful electromagnets in the huge particle smashers used by physicists and to the magnets that levitate superfast trains called maglevs and enable them to glide above their tracks. To do the job, however, these superconductors must be kept at very low temperatures (around 4 degreesK) through the use of liquid helium, an expensive and hard-to-handle coolant. The goal of current research is to produce superconductors that can perform their magic at less frigid temperatures that are easier to reach and maintain. What's exciting about...
