ChrLzs Posted October 15, 2020 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2020 For more than one reason...... this video is worth a look.. The interview starts about 4:30 in... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DieChecker Posted October 16, 2020 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I thought this was very remarkable. I wonder if other materials will react similarly when pressure is greatly increased. Similar to the ideal gas law. Where (to a degree) temperature and pressure are relative to each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted October 16, 2020 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2020 The problem with this innovative discovery is that the new compound, while it superconducts at room temperature, it only exists under very high pressure conditions, so that is an obstacle to further development. Physics has a way of giving with one hand and taking away with the other. In a related context it is interesting to note that graphene, first discovered in 2004, has proven to be an exciting find with many applications already developed and with the promise of more since recently a strange quantum property of it was discovered only two years ago https://news.mit.edu/2018/graphene-insulator-superconductor-0305 https://phys.org/news/2020-02-superconductivity-graphene.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted September 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Paper by team claiming to have achieved superconductivity at room temperature retracted Editors at the journal Nature have retracted a paper by a team that claimed to have achieved superconductivity at room temperature. Published in 2020, the paper described work by a combined team from the University of Rochester and the University of Nevada, announcing that they had reached superconductivity at room temperature with a material made of sulfur, carbon and hydrogen under extreme pressure. https://phys.org/news/2022-09-paper-team-superconductivity-room-temperature.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURE..... He will. Maybe, might, some day. Much like the E-CAT generator from a few years ago. Probably looking for investors before scrapping the idea and keeping the grant money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
