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.
