The
power requirements of Optical Computers (D3) and
the nascent Industrial Base (B1) stimulate research
into high-temperature Superconductors, an advance
long considered a 'holy Grail' by physical chemists. A Superconductor
is a material that does not resist a flow of electrons. Using a Superconductor,
power can be transmitted at incredible speeds over vast distances with
no degradation. Bulky and expensive cooling equipment for high-powered
machinery or weaponry becomes unnecessary, because these materials
remain cool and efficient as electricity passes through them.
