Not holding my breath yet.

Most of these reports are flawed.

If this is confirmed and reproduced by other teams, this could be huge! I wonder how rare and expensive and manufacturable this material is…

And in 30 years or so, we’ll all be driving ultra high Tc Teslas dissipating no heat at all!

Except of course we know in 30 years they’ll say it’s another 30 years...

Didn’t George Carlin do a bit on “room temperature”.

Nope. They will all be self-driving.

And owned by the government. You get to rent your Tesla on a daily basis.

Or take the bus, you peasant.

From the article:

Obviously, it's still a way off being useable in everyday circumstances. The sample sizes were microscopic, between 25 and 35 microns, and the pressure at which superconductivity emerged still rather impractical.

So, yes, you nailed it.

Yup!

And in 30 years or so, we’ll all be flying ultra high Tc Teslas dissipating no heat at all!

270 gigapascals = 39,160,190 psi

That's a bit more pressure than my shop compressor can handle...

Very interesting. The method they used is impractical for actual use but it’s important that they were able to do it at all, if it holds up. Once something seemingly impossible is done all of a sudden the breakthroughs seem to explode rapidly. All the geniuses who didn’t want to waste their time suddenly say ‘hmmm, so it’s feasible then? Let’s see what I can do with that...’ and bang, the world changes.

Owned by companies like Uber. Rented on-demand as needed.
