ANDREJ @Andr3jH we're not getting room temperature superconductors until we solve this. forget it. Imagine a 747 is sitting on a conveyor belt, as wide and long as a runway. The conveyor belt is designed to exactly match the speed of the wheels, moving in the opposite direction. Can the plane take off? FERICO 6:19 PM Jul 26, 2023 266.5K Views

re superconductor, asked my old princeton buddy, now a materials science prof at nyu

Danielle Fong @DanielleFong re superconductor, asked my old princeton buddy, now a materials science prof at nyu Thanks for sending this! No, I hadn't noticed it yet. Unlike the case of lutetium hydride, these experiments shouldn't be all that challenging for other groups to reproduce. A lot of great materials synthesis work is done in Korea. If a time traveler from the future told me that room temperature superconductivity would be discovered by a random group in Korea, I would say, yeah, that sounds plausible. Also, the data don't look outlandish, though I'm not an expert in these particular techniques, and I've only skimmed the paper so far. If I wanted to be critical, I would say that the magnetic susceptibility measurements aren't gorgeous, and I can't tell what configuration they used for transport. Still, it does seem to be a superconductivity- or-fraud-choose-one situation. It's difficult to learn about the authors. I hadn't heard about them prior to this, and I don't see much of a publication record. The English abstract of their Korean language paper (published April 30th) comes across as naive to say the least. Achieving room temperature superconductivity is_hard_ and scientific fraud does occur, so external confirmation will be essential. Fingers crossed! 1:27 PM Jul 26, 2023 545.3K Views

Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime

Alex Kaplan @alexkaplano · Jul 25 Today might have seen the biggest physics discovery of my lifetime. I don't think people fully grasp the implications of an ambient temperature / pressure superconductor. Here's how it could totally change our lives. 2,477 12 27K 72 127.2K Alex Kaplan @alexkaplan0 Jul 25 1.100 billion kWh of electricity are wasted on transmission losses each year in the US alone. That's equivalent to 3 of our largest nuclear reactors running 24/7. Superconductivity enables lossless electricity transmission at high voltages and currents. 1 678 Alex Kaplan @alexkaplan ₁27.7M ↑ 11.8K 2M 2. According to the authors, the LK-99 material can be prepared in about 34 hrs with extremely basic lab equipment (a mortar & pestle, basic vacuum, and furnace). These results could replicate within days-weeks.
