Over the next decade experiments will probe nature at distances as short as 10^-19 meters. One of the principal goals of these experiments is the exploration of electroweak superconductivity, the property of nature responsible for the short-range form of the weak interactions and the masses of quarks and leptons. I will give a basic introduction to electroweak superconductivity and discuss some recent ideas for its origin.
