Superconductor technology is becoming a widespread and indispensible component of the machines we use today. Superconductors can be found in everything from transportation to electronic signal transmission. Due to our increasing reliance on technology, the demand for superconductors has skyrocketed. As a result, production has also increased exponentially, which has greatly reduced the cost per unit.
