Okay, so probably more efficient electronics and power grids, MRI machines without helium, probably easier maglev tech, …?

    Wireless charging of mobile devices generates lots of heat which then degrades the battery. If we had superconductors, the charger wouldn’t heat up at all no matter how high the current is. The chemical reactions inside the battery might still generate heat, but the rest of the system wouldn’t.

    The chemistry obviously has its limitations too, but as far as the charger and internal electronics of the device are concerned, having superconductors would speed up the process.
