Very insightful article. Of particular note, aside from futuristic applications, is the technology used in developing the wire. Sounds like these scientists have learned that wire ain't just wire after all.

Superconductor ICs, cables and PCs, drool...wonder if the condo association will allow a nitrogen tank in the back yard...
Bravo, Ikarus, for unearthing this article. The french PPC has been applying similar (maybe identical) process in supplying cables to the National Health & Hospitals board since 1999... There was talk about supplying such cables to be used in audio applications (the french radio & TV) -- but, I (at least) have seen no further mention.

Good to know cables are getting somewhere beyond alleged voodoo...
Thanks for a great article, something that is even more funny is that they are selling this cutting edge technology for $200.00 a meter. Howmuch did I just pay for my last pair of copper cables?
Personally I doubt that conductivity is what a great PC is about. Otherwise using the same stuff as you have in the wall as a PC would sound as good as or better than anything else (since 5 feet cannot be significant in the many metres overall). Nevertheless, a very interesting read.
