Good news. Electricity passes resistance free.
Bad news. Do not give up your winter coat to avoid freezing to death.
This is really cool stuff.
I have said many times here on FR and to friends and family - many if not most of the physical problems we face today will be solved by future technologies. Recent history (last century) proves this is true. The growth curve in technology and R&D today in all fields of science is astounding compared to when I was in college (hard science major and graduate) 30 plus years ago.
The future will be amazing and exciting if we can preserve freedom and capitalism.
Should be lots of the stuff in Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uran us. Space miners start you rockets ...
“a metal is pretty much any collection of atoms bonded together because they sit in a free-flowing soup of electrons”
Good line.
My brother’s dissertation on classical superconductivity in the 60s; I will forward this above absolute zero stuff to him.
Hemley and his team’s “room temperature superconductor,” LaH10, appears to be the most exciting result yet from this new era of research. Crushed to about 1 million times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere (200 gigapascals) between the points of two counterposed diamonds, a sample of LaH10 appears to become superconductive at 260 degrees above absolute zero, or 8 F (minus 13 C).
...
The pressure seems like a deal breaker to me.
Cool. Quite literally.
I don’t know about superconductors or warmer materials, but a famous maestro told me I could put a balm on a coffee burn.
I would buy my superconductors ar Radio Shack but they have closed the stores.... I was this close to solving warp drive.
I want AOC’s version of this so I can put a pancake on a bunnies head.
