Microsoft wants to rewire data centers using superconductors, The Verge reports

Microsoft (MSFT) is exploring high-temperature superconductors to design more efficient data centers by enabling zero-resistance electricity flow, which could significantly reduce space and power infrastructure needs, The Verge’s Justine Calma reports. If commercialized, the technology could help address AI-driven energy demand, grid constraints, and community concerns tied to data center expansion, according to the report. The Fly notes that shares of American Superconductor (AMSC), a grid-wide provider of advanced power electronics and superconductor systems, are up 2.12% o $29.40 in late morning trading.
