But it won't happen until we have "sensible temperature" super

That'll be a game changer, no losses,

won;t be that much of a gane changer as they only estimate that the losses due to reistance is about 20%.

where it would be an advantage is in computers that won't need to be cooled.


so you could move as much
energy as you can shove in all over the globe on a mesh made of
things the size of todays single fibre optic strand.

This would also depend on what the substance is we eventually find it could be rare like gold or other rarer elements that'll just cost to much to manufacture and put into use.


Did you see the program on super elements last week. ?
