Room-temperature superconductors could make high-speed maglev trains more practical.Visual China Group via Getty ImagesSuperconductors make highly efficient electronics, but the ultralow temperatures and ultrahigh pressures required to make them work are costly and difficult to implement. Room-temperature superconductors promise to change that.
