Hi,
Here is another paper on using superconducting (e.g. low temperature physics) to shied gravity. Also, the second link is a paper where superconduction could be used in a practical sense, to protect astronauts against harmful sun radiation using superconduction to create an electromagnetic force shield during a space trip to Mars, for example.
The Earth has natural electromagnetic fields that protect us against sun radiation.
