Electric power companies are demonstrating the capacity of new flexible wire to deliver more current in less space and to limit power surges.
Somewhere under Albany, New York, 350 meters of chilled high-temperature superconducting cable is delivering electricity at three to five times the capacity of copper. MORE >
