Summary
We can push beyond materials' known electrical resistance for the purpose of energy storage and transfer.
Description
As we approach the theoretical limits of our energy and data transfer capabilities, it is necessary to adapt existing methods to keep up with our ever-increasing hunger for both power and information. Whether based on traditional BCS material, cuprates, or more recent ferropnictides, superconductive material can unfortunately only function at extremely low temperatures - an inherent ceiling that we now must shatter. By exploring more efficient, and far less cumbersome, methods of nitrogen-based cooling, we can now create superconductive substances that are several orders of magnitude more efficient than the current generation, able to conduct truly vast amounts of energy near-losslessly, even in room-temperature environments. Considering the ever-growing human dependence upon both data and electrical energy, such breakthroughs should be considered an absolute necessity for each and every society.
