Do computers run faster in winter due to metallic components in them becoming more superconductive?

Since so much cool stuff (faster than light travel, teleportation, wormholes, death rays) isn't allowed under normal science, what do you consider the coolest thing that legitimately exists, within the bounds of scientific knowledge?

I'd have to say superconductors. Even without the room temperature variety, they're like something out of science fiction, and you can do genuine sci-fi things with them.

Someone tell me why this is a big deal. I thought we had already engineered high temperature superconductors?

Assuming it is possible, which would be a more useful and advancing invention/discovery, room-temperature superconductors, or homopolar magnets? Or could one lead/be a component of the other?

hey so just curious what the magnetic field lines look like for those super conductor magnets

Why must superconductors happen with extremely cold temperature? Is it because molecular movement tampers with the electric flow?

Hey /sci/ could you explain something to me?

Or tell me what happens, I mean.

When you have a high temperature superconductor and lower its temperature enough to create superconductivity what effect would it have on another metal without any magnetic force?

I've seen that trick where someone will make a magnet attack and repel a superconductor when the temperature has been lowered, but I want to know what happens with other metals such as Iron.

Spelled something wrong, so I needed to repost.

Hello guys.
I've just watched a tiny speech about super conductors on the yt channel of some university.

Can you guys give me some examples about what would change if we found a super conducter that works at room temperature?
