Superconductors allow electricity to be conducted with little to no  resistance. One use of super conductors that is especially interesting  to me is that in certain areas of Japan and Germany they have  experimental magnetic levitation trains. These trains can travel at  higher speeds, are more efficient, and are environmentally friendly.  These trains use superconducting magnets to lift them above the rails  and almost eliminate friction. This makes me wonder about the potential  to tie this technology into cars, which would be beneficial but would  require a lot of work, just a thought that popped into my head while  reading about this. 

Other uses of superconductors are they have been used experimentally  to speed up connections between computer chips, superconducting coils  are used in MRI machines, and some high energy practical accelerators.
