The discovery demonstrates the possibility of using new superconducting Materi als for vastly improved computer chips Power transmission lines magnets electric motors and other uses ism sad superconductors Are materials that lose All resistance to electricity below a certain temperature. It s very  said Vravec Chaudhari vice president for science at International business machines corp. From a science Point of View what we be done is to show thai yes the Nec Essary current is  ism officials discussed the development with some reporters Friday wit the understanding that no information be released until monday. Although scientists have made a series of recent breakthroughs in railing super conductors critical temperature they bad made Little Progress until now in improving their ability to carry current. Existing materials could carry the same current density As household wiring but that was not enough for most potential tact major companies and universities in the United slates Japan and elsewhere have Given High priority to research on superconductors which could Lead to magnetically levitating or flying trains tiny but powerful computer and eventually nuclear fusion through magnetic confinement of hot gases for clean cheap Safe Energy. Scientists at ism s research Center in Yorktown Heights n.y., demonstrate superconductors capable of carrying More than 100,000 amperes of current per Square centimetre at the temperature of liquid nitrogen which is 77 degrees Kelvin or 320 degrees below Zero fahrenheit the company said.
