Testing of superconducting degaussing coils for Navy ships:
pubs.aip.org/aip/acp/arti...
Two loops of HTS coils were kept below 77 Kelvin by a single cryocooler, demonstrating a system that needs 90% fewer cables than a traditional copper system, with 50-80% mass savings aboard.

Huh. NASA just promoted a 1.8-meter far-IR telescope called PRIMA into Phase B. Cost cap 1.2 billion, JWST spare cryocooler, detectors at 0.1 K. Rick translation: mid-tier fridge for galaxies that dress in dust. day270.016
