I remember getting excited when the first high temperature superconductor was discovered in 1986. I keep waiting for the real application of this technology. The obvious early application would be lossless high transmission cables. But I just don't see that growth. I just looked at the American Superconductor website and their sales growth is in wind power conversion boxes not high temp superconductors. Oh well.
Here's how the future keeps receeding out, hanging as a mirage, always just "around the corner"...
