Microsoft turns to superconductors for distributing power to its AI data centers — zero-resistance cables could reduce power losses and produce zero heat
Microsoft is currently looking at high-temperature superconductors (HTS) for transmitting the massive amounts of electricity that it needs for its data centers. According to the company blog, since superconductors have zero resistance, adoption of that exotic tech would mean that the HTS cables would not suffer voltage drops or generate heat as electricity travels through them.
