Superconducting electromagnets The most ignominious military use of superconductors may come with the deployment of "Ebombs". These are devices that make use of strong, superconductor-derived magnetic fields to create a fast, high-intensity electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to disable an enemy's electronic equipment. Such a device saw its first use in wartime in March 2003 when US Forces attacked an Iraqi broadcast facility.
