Transporting energy is costly. When a current runs through conductive materials, some of the energy is lost due to resistance as particles within the material interact--just notice the warmth from your phone or laptop. This energy loss presents a hurdle to the advancement of many technologies and scientists are searching for ways to make superconductors that eliminate resistance.
