  Flywheels – rotating for stability
  
  Dr. Achim Hobl. Head of Department Industrial Applications, Magnet Technologies (Babcock Noell GmbH).
  
  Cloud-based applications are leading to soaring data volumes and an increasing need for secure storage, driving growth among large data centres as well as a shift towards more efficient UPS solutions. An innovative superconductor-based implementations based on flywheels comes with reduced environmental footprint, lower maintenance need, longer lasting lifetime and thus lower Total Cost of Ownership.

  Heading to the future
  
  A new generation for ground and space(?) transportation
  
  Swissloop consists of a team of 40 physics, mathematics, electrical-, mechanical- and civil engineering students at the ETH Zurich that is complemented by design and business students from Switzerland. Their objective is to design and build a prototype for this new kind of ground transportation: the Hyperloop. What is the role that superconductivity could play in transforming our transportation?
