CanadianCorhenSuperconductor Breakthrough Findings Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing - Tom's Hardware
blackluster117Where were you, the day that everything changed? This is likely it, folks. If this pans out, it’ll be jetpacks and mimosas on the Moon, Jetsons’ style. Holy shit. We thought the computer age was something, this is going to be Something Else^TM
RageristMaybe, there’s still important questions. Will it scale? Preliminary tests only transfered mA’s before the super conductivity breaks down. So can you layer the material to get higher amps? Will cables have to be made in one continuous part or will the super conductivity work across joined cables
This material likely isn’t it but it demonstrates that room temp superconductors exist
kaduThe new analysis suggests the material can have two superconducting configurations, but one is significantly better and harder to make pure. It also heavily prefers current flow in one direction.
If it’s indeed a room temperature superconductor, which I still am a bit skeptical off, the low performance of the first tests could be related to the difficulty in actually getting a perfect crystal
