This data is fed through a computer and translated into a graphical image. The movie on the right is an MRI taken of a 47 day old human embryo. T here are many potential uses for superconductors, each with a different application of the technology. Chip designers are attempting to integrate superconductive materials into microchips in order to reduce the resistance in the circuit. A reduction of resistance would cause a dramatic boost in computational speed.
Projects are also underway to create high speed trains that hover above the track.
Power companies would greatly benefit from the use of superconductors because a large percentage of the power supplied is lost in transit. Superconductors would nearly eliminate all of the lost power.
