Because at present all superconductors must be super-cooled in a coolant such as liquid nitrogen to become superconductors.

How are superconductors different from conductors?
In superconductors, no electricity is wasted because there is no resistance to the flow of electrons. In conductors any electricity not used, is wasted.
Why are scientists trying to make superconductors that can work at warmer temperatures?
Because refrigerating superconductors to the cryogenic temperatures needed by current ones is expensive, severely limiting the applications they are used in.Metallic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid helium.Copper oxide ceramic superconductors need cooling to the temperature of liquid nitrogen.Room temperature superconductors, if they exist, would need little or no cooling.
Do superconductors have a role in telecommunications?
Yes, they are used in telecommunications base stations.Some components needed in telecommunications base stations, most importantly filters, have better performance when superconductors are used instead of metals.
What contains bismuth?
Bismuth can be used in:- medicines- alloys- cosmetics- superconductors
How often can Sophie monk mask be used?
Everyday. I am using it everyday for two hours as after using it i go to school.
What are the everyday uses of Beta particles?
Beta particles are often used in smoke detectors.
What are the words that derives from tantalus?
Tantalize, tantalate (used in chemistry, not often in everyday speech).
How Superconductivity arises in high temperature superconductors?
I think so the super conducting material used will melt
What are the uses of a superconductor?
Superconductors have zero resistance, and are used in powerful magnets for MRI etc, and magnetic levitation.
Why is it not good to wash you hair everyday?
The chemicals in shampoo and conditioner can cause damage to your hair if used too often.
Are superconducters used in making transisters?
I don't think so. Semiconductor processing requires very clean steps. and superconductors require the use of heavy metals, which can contaminate the process. Besides, superconductors require special equipment that does not exist in the semiconductor industry. The cost of introducing superconducting materials outweighs the benefits of using the materials. Perhaps one day, superconductors and semiconductors can co-exist in an integrated circuit. If the question is about whether superconductors are involved in fabricating transistors (meaning the fabrication equipment), I don't see a need -- we can make do with what we have.
How often should you clean blackboard?
Everyday. The old traditional blackboard gets chalk dust build up on it as it is used.
