today we watched a TED talk about super conductors which when a super conductor is put together with a magnetic strip it causes the super conductor to start "levitating". I think this is intresting because this technology could be use for so many things like for example you could have cars that do not need wheels because they don't touch the ground. there is a downside to the superconductors levitating effect which is that it appears that the superconductor needs to constantly be cold because in the demonstration boaz almog (the demonstrator) had to put the superconductor in a cup of liquid nitrogen after a few seconds of letting the superconductor levitate. all in all i think the technology is cool and will be applyed to everyday tasks in the future.
