Improving the technology of superconductors, already used in the Large Hadron Collider and MRI machines, would revolutionize our everyday life. Here’s how.
Sharing for anyone else that think superconductors are interesting
So how come brittle glass is useful for fibre optic data cable? Thinness, that’s why. Superconductors don’t need to be thick either, because of the “super”. Also, multi-strand.
That’s not necessarily the case- glass is amorphous, so there’s ways of making it flexible that won’t directly apply to crystalline materials such as ceramics immediately- it’ll take time to modify or innovate methods of making the crystals flexible.
