Here’s an interesting and educational photo and graphic essay on the history and uses of superconductors. The story focuses on the use of superconductivity to improve electrical grids, IT networks, and enable Maglev trains. The story also explains the involvement of Fermilab and Stanford University in the technology’s development.

On the cover:
As symmetry celebrates its 50th issue, big changes are afoot at Fermilab.
The lab’s Tevatron Collider, once the most powerful particle collider in
the world, is shutting down, and a new project is on the horizon: Project X.
This proposed $1.8 billion accelerator complex would keep Fermilab at
the forefront of high-energy physics, this time at the Intensity Frontier—a realm
in which scientists bring incredible numbers of particles into collision to
search for extremely rare processes with a big physics impact. It’s exactly
the kind of place where discoveries may lie. See “Solving for X”.
