Can’t wait for this to be debunked in the next couple days so we can all lose hope in the future of humanity again
Gotta hope it’s real there’s been plenty of bs like this before
If it’s real tho absolutely massive step for humanity and masssive massive massive for stopping climate change
funny how this could be happening when we needed it the most
South Korea is no stranger to faking scientific breakthrough lol
It’s had four successful tests, two simulations two real. Still early but it’s making good progress since originally coming out around a week ago
dawg that university is in china
& they’re speaking chinese
The china test was a replication so I guess it's a different team and they too claim to be successful
All the fat headed nerds with blue checks in the comment section feel so smug and superior for knowing what it means but won't explain it to anyone.
bc they don't understand either probably lmao
We been did this back in 06 lol

4 successful tests hard to fake goddamn yall negative nancies
How about they discover some b****es
Truly. They got the worst birth rate on the planet.
Ngl as an engineer, that tweet thread OD complicated lol
But pretty much they found a superconductor compound that can conduct an electric current at room temp with no energy loss, which differs from other superconductors in that it doesn't need extreme low temperatures (close to absolute zero) and extremely high pressure for usage.
The dope thing about this is that not only is it usable at room temp and normal conditions, but u also can make it relatively "easy".
The benefits are as safe said itt. Would be a HUGE step for clean energy cause a big reason why renewable energy sources are not so viable today is because of the issue of storing said energy. But with a room temp superconductors, u can pretty much solve that issue (SMES).
Now the issue is the findings aren't peer reviewed yet, and there's some strange things in there. And it's been manyyy people trying to solve this but haven't got it, but we'll see what happens after it undergoes more scrutiny
superconductivity so good
slay haha
zero resistance at room temperature
gang gang
yes yes yes so many use cases including ultra efficient energy transmission
thank you lopez
you’re right we do need to wait & see if these results can be reproduced
scientific method so good

can it do the ice spice dance?

👅👅👅
We been did this back in 06 lol
It couldn't be replicated though so it was useless lol. S*** like that happens all the time where researchers make discoveries but can't replicate the results so it's a dead end. Now it has actually been replicated tho
Some simple explanation maybe I’m late to the party
You know how computers, phones, electric motors and... well, all electronics get hot when they're running? That's because even the best wire, or conductor, in the world still resists the flow of electricity at least a bit. Superconductors don't; they're perfect conductors of electricity. They have some other interesting abilities, particularly when used as electromagnets: MRI machines rely on superconductors to function. But the traditional problem is that superconductors only exist at extremely low temperatures, like, near absolute zero. This makes them impractical in most applications.
Room-temperature, ambient-pressure (standard air pressure, that is) superconductors, if easily manufactured at scale, would allow the transmission and application of electricity with zero heat or energy loss due to resistance. Computers would be faster, smaller, and cooler; heat sinks could shrink (or vanish). Electric motors could become far more efficient and powerful, as well as more compact. Theoretically, you could store an incredible amount of electrical power in a loop of superconducting material, with no toxic chemicals and very little wear and tear over charge and discharge cycles. Fusion reactors could be built with far less complexity and far more efficiency, allowing net positive energy production. And these are only the obvious, simple applications based on our existing technologies; there are doubtless many other applications that would only become apparent after widespread adoption and experimentation.
The simple way to put it is that, if it can be produced and manipulated on a large scale, the conservative estimate is that a room-temperature superconductor would revolutionize every single electronic device on a scale similar to the invention of alternating current or the transistor. Well, maybe not toasters and other electric heaters, but everything else.
