The partners have already tested open-fan engines in two different series of wind-tunnel tests in Europe, Ali added. A scale model of an open-fan aircraft engine was tested last year in a wind tunnel in Modane, France. Copper-oxide superconductors have been used in a few applications, almost all of them experimental.

Those high magnetic fields may one day enable nuclear fusion energy, which I wrote about recently [see “ This Fusion Reactor Is Held Together With Tape ”]. But the materials could show up sooner in a wide array of practical applications, including wind power, energy storage, and nuclear magnetic-resonance machines.
