We may be on the verge of the next processing breakthrough. The reason (as I understand it) that we’ve been essentially stuck at the 3GHz line is due to our reaching the practical limit of silicon’s insulation abilities.

Does this mean that cars (and so forth) will some day be powered by batteries that never need to be recharged? Or is that pie-in-the-sky?

So in order to be superconductor it has to be cooled to absolute zero. And this is useful how?

one question is whether or not this can create protective barriers against electromagnetic pulse weapons.

A redundantly designed circuit with a superinsulator packet as a back-up might keep jets flying, cars running, etc. should an EMP weapon be exploded somewhere.

Most cool.

Though now I want a superinsulating power source running a supercoducting pump motor to move a superfliud liquid to get me to the grocery store.
