Room Temperature Superconductors - This Changes EVERYTHING!
Room Temperature Superconductors - This Changes EVERYTHING!

The Wikipedia for LK-99 is fairly solid... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LK-99
260° F?!
If that's true, this would be a huge fucking deal. But most room temperature superconductors don't operate anywhere near what laymen would call room temperature.
room temperature superconductors don't exist. (well... when/if this paper turns out to be bullshit)
High Temperature Superconductors do, and refer to the fact that they can be cooled with liquid nitrogen, and do not require liquid helium.
"well actually" room temperature superconductors do exist, quite definitely! ... But only at 100 gigapascals of pressure. https://uspex-team.org/static/file/Troyan2022_ufn227g_High-temperature superconductivity in hydrides.pdf
Still really cool, but not useful for engineering.
I agree that this paper needs to be replicated before we get excited.
damn, right.
i totally forgot about those, and assumend the mix-up of room temperature and "high-temperature", because "high" is very relative and confused me as well.
