Superconductors enable electrons to flow through without any resistance, like a superhighway, enabling more efficient energy and advanced electronic devices.

Electricity flows through wires to deliver power, but it loses energy as it moves, delivering less than it started with. But that energy loss isn’t a given. Scientists at Penn State have found a new way to identify types of materials known as superconductors that allow power to travel without any resistance, meaning no energy is lost.
