Bridging Superconductors with UN Development Goals: Perspectives and Applications
AI summary Read the abstract
This overview examines the correlation between ceramic superconductor technology and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, discussing superconductor applications in healthcare MRI, clean maritime transport, energy transmission, and magnetic levitation transit systems. The authors note that strong superconducting magnets offer a promising approach to magnetic separation of microplastic particles from water as one sustainability application.
Superconductors exhibit remarkable properties such as zero resistivity and diamagnetism at the boiling temperature of liquid hydrogen (20 K) and even aboven the boiling temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K), making them promising candidates for various applications including electrical engines, energy generation, storage, and high-tech devices like single photon detectors. In this overview, we explore the correlation between ceramic superconductors and the United Nations (UN) Development Goals, emphasizing their potential impact on sustainable development. Through bibliometric analysis, we underscore the significance of ceramic superconductors in addressing global challenges outlined by the UN. Additionally, we discuss the application of supermagnets and second-generation tapes in healthcare systems, particularly in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices for diagnostic imaging. Electric superconducting motors offer a clean alternative to highly polluting diesel engines in maritime transportation and superconducting wires/cables enable effective transport of energy on large scale as well as in industrial structures. Magnetic levitation technology holds promise for developing zero-emission public transportation systems, and magnetic separation with strong magnets will contribute to solve the microplastic pollution. The combination of superconductivity with the planned hydrogen economy further offers new possibilities to bring superconductivity to common applications. At the nanoscale, superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) enable real-time monitoring of environmental health, exemplified by applications in plant physiology, and superconducting qubits provide the best-engineered structures for quantum computers. However it is still crordwork to works with superconductors UN develepoment goals.

Microplastics and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
AI summary Read the abstract
Microplastic pollution intersects with multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 14 on life below water, undermining efforts to protect marine biodiversity and sustain ocean-dependent communities. Recognizing microplastics as a cross-cutting threat to sustainable development strengthens the case for coordinated global policy action rather than treating it as an isolated environmental issue.
