Energy-efficient superconducting cable
The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology has developed a superconducting cable which - when cooled with nitrogen instead of helium - transports large quantities of electrical energy almost loss-free. It should be easy to manufacture. Industry is working on mass production processes.
