Abstract
Understanding superconductivity involves studying the interaction of electrons and matter on a microscopic scale. Furthermore, many superconducting applications involve unfamiliar concepts related to sophisticated electronics and the detection of electromagnetic fields. But more of our experience with the world centers around macroscopic motion and the action of machinery than it does on electronics, and no machines interest us more than the ones in which we travel. So at this point, we explore superconductivity’s role in transportation.
