    PSDcast - Superconductors and Maglev Trains
    05/31/2023

    The promise of superconductivity for electrical power transmission and transportation has long been held back by high costs. Now researchers from the University of Houston and Germany have demonstrated a way to cut the cost and upend both the transit and energy transport sectors by using superconductors to move people, cargo and energy along existing highway infrastructure. Dr. Zhifeng Ren, director of the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH, is on the call.
