Irish startup and CERN join forces on experimental energy transmission project

NamedSuperNode, the company has invented energy transmission cables that can transfer immense power across long distances. As the system requires less space and voltage thanconventional copper-based cables, the environmental impact is reduced. These benefits derive from superconductivity. This phenomenon happens when certain materials are cooled below their critical temperature typically -180C for high-temperature superconductors. As a result, superconductors can offer ahefty power density and zero electrical losses. To harness this potential, SuperNode needs unique scientific resources which is where CERN comes in....
