Powering the century of superconductivity

Transformative superconducting technology for humanity

Superconductors are materials with fascinating and incredibly useful properties. They can conduct electric current with zero resistance, levitate by expelling magnetic fields, and generate immensely powerful magnetic fields.

Until recently, all superconducting technology required extremely cold temperatures to operate. We have discovered new materials that make superconductivity at near-ambient conditions finally possible. These remarkable materials hold the power to propel industries forward, fostering innovation, enhancing efficiency, and promoting sustainability.

In this century, superconductors may enable huge advances in microelectronics, reshape how we travel, deliver abundant clean energy, and unleash human potential globally.

World-changing applications

Practical superconductors have the potential to transform the world, ushering in incredible inventions never thought possible. The applications of this discovery unlock massive innovation in key industries.

Energy

Abundant, affordable, and clean energy

Superconducting magnets that don’t need cooling could significantly reduce the energy used by fusion reactors and may allow higher magnetic confinement, making them viable much faster than previously thought possible. Superconducting wires could enable lossless energy transmission and storage, saving billions on power generation and greatly reducing carbon emissions.

Quantum electronics

Smashing through the performance-per-Watt barrier

Processors with superconducting circuits could be faster without dissipating energy as heat. This would slash cooling costs at server farms and make high-performance computing far more accessible and sustainable. Portable devices would enjoy significantly extended battery life.
