as of 2024, commercial applications are limited. One of the few successful examples is represented by low-temperature superconductor (LTS) materials that are used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hospitals worldwide. High-temperature superconductors (HTSs) can support currents...
Superconductors have a wide range of applications, including in medical imaging equipment such as MRI machines, in particle accelerators, and in high-speed trains. They are also being studied for use in energy storage and transmission, as well as in quantum computing. ...

(HTS) materials has reached such a sufficient level of maturity to be considered for practical applications in a large variety of fields: among them we cite the high-field magnets (e.g., for fusion and High-Energy Physics, or biomedical applications such as MRI), magnets for magnetoencephalo...
in everyday life, forming the scanning enclosure in MRI machines, and the enormous 27km-long particle accelerator ring at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva. Lengths of superconducting electricity transmission cables are already used in electricity grids around the world,such as in Essen, Germany...
Some potential applications of an ideal transformer with superconductors include power transmission and distribution systems, medical equipment such as MRI machines, and high-speed trains. Superconductors can also be used in energy storage devices and in the development of more efficient electrical motors...
