The LK-99 stuff you are talking about is essentially a ceramic. Even IF superconducting at high temperatures it would about as useless for practical applications as the cuprate material that "erupted" from the Swiss research labs back in 1987. Such materials CANNOT be fabricated into wires or other practical shapes with any ease - 30 years of materials research have been thrown into making that particular ceramic into something marketable. So far, the penetration of LN2 based superconducting tape into the market is about 1%, as it is just not worth the bother. Besides the engineering issues, which eliminate 90% of the potential applications right away for this sort of RTS, with a few quirky examples, quantum computer devices have no working principle that depends on the superconducting state. That you see cryogenic baths for the experimental quantum computers these day has everything to do with reducing noise, and not using special gate functions. regards, DKB

indeed, on a far more sober note, there are a few advanced applications for which a chip-scale deposition of a superconducting layer would have applications. Certain advanced junction types have the potential to actual be or stand-in for q-bits, but again, the noise factors at room temperature would still prohibit any practical application. Micro-cryo coolers are available for this level of DARPA scale research today, but you can see the irony here.

As an electrical engineer I’ve followed this topic since 1991 when Dr Paul Chu at the University of Houston was the premier researcher. The trouble with all super conducting “breakthroughs” is making the material into current carrying conductors. They’re made from rare and exotic materials and are fragile to handle. Nobody has been able to do more than make a small sample that levitates a magnet. It’s an interesting topic, but the path to large scale practical applications such as power transmission, in motors, etc where the major losses occur isn’t on the horizon

@@Merrsharr No, not really. The experiment that you are talking about was using 192 lasers to start a fusion reaction. The amount of energy produced (about 3 million joules) was less than the energy input (about 2 million joules), but that was far less than the energy required to run the lasers. In fact it was only about 1% energy output as compared to the amount of energy input to the lasers, because the lasers used about 300 million joules. This was a very small experiment (as far as energy generated) that produced 3 million joules. Only enough energy to boil 10 litres of water starting at room temperature. So, in order for the experiment to actually produce more energy than it uses, it needs to produce over 100 times as much as this experiment did. That also doesn't take into account all the energy to make the lasers and a potential power plant. Even when and if it is achieved it will be incredibly expensive to build a fusion power plant. Thirty years may be too optimistic in fact it may never happen, since power plants from other forms of energy (like fission) are much easier and cheaper to make.

The fact that their claimed superconductor is not a super difficult material to make actually makes me a bit more likely to believe them, because now their reputation is really on the line. If it's not real, it should get caught really fast. Also, if it is real, it makes the prospective applications that much more exciting, since it's much easier to mass produce something if it doesn't need super rare materials or complex processes.

They wanted more testing to confirm their findings (which is *precisely* how science works) and were open with their process. Sure, they hoped it would be proven out, and were disappointed that it didn't end up panning out as they had hoped, but that's how science is supposed to be. Not every experiment is reproducible; sometimes, its some novel effect from unaccounted variables and you just don't know how or why it happened. It was the big buzz *around* the discovery that was the problem. News took the story and ran with it as if "cold fusion" power was already invented and confirmed. Then, after science did its thing amd said, "oh, no, false alarm, nothing to see here," the story flipped to, "oh, no, it was a scam, these guys faked their results." Not every failed experiment is a result of deliberate deception.

@@omargoodman2999 Yes, that was Pons & Fleischmann, 2 chemists. A large part of the criticism aim at them was for their haste to publish in lieu of scientific rigor for something so important - it’s a delicate battle between being complete and being competitive, first to publish. I’m their case, if memory serves me, they didn’t perform proper checks a physicist would, and instead of bringing one on the project to do so and slow things down and share the fame, they rushed to announce it… thereby forever linking their names and the term “cold fusion” to bad / fake science.

To be fair graphene starts to be used over the last few years. There are batteries with graphene components (electrodes I think). I also saw graphene thermal pads for CPU to heatsink cooling (this one still usually loses to conventional thermal goop though)

The effect depends on distorting the crystal structure using specific metals. It may turn out that other metal pairs work even better.

I work in the field of crystallography as well and I read both papers. It seems they took a powder Xrd pattern of the end product and it was mostly made of apatite from what I can tell. That seems to align with what at least one Japanese group is getting: a superconductive phase but very impure and not pure enough to exhibit the Meissner effect. What’s strange is that they seem to suggest that lk99 has the same basic structure and space group as the original apatite, only with slightly lower cell parameters. I’m wondering what their FOM for the structural determination were. They don’t say.

I am in the same boat... But... Let me put it very briefly. An electric motor loses about, say, 20 per cent of the input, and delivers, say, 80 per cent output. All a superconductor can do is to prevent the 20 per cent losses. I am on the fantasy side, if the idea is to get energy for nothing..!!

I gotta laugh at the 'skepticism is my entire personality' people that are saying 'it's just a diamagnet!'. Kwon's paper was obviously rushed and sloppy, but the other scientists (who are backing the fundamental claims of the paper, still) are some of the top minds in material science. If they're saying it's a superconductor, they genuinely believe that it is. They would not mistake it for something else. It's ok to be excited, debunkers!

Superconductivity at room temperature is super easy. Just lower the temperature in the room 😮

whaaaaat. They did what I thought could work when I did a presentation about super conductors in high school.

Super conductors are also frequency dependent. They work good at DC but not so well at ac, definitely not worth it at RF, but still super cool if it works! I've always wanted one of those hover boards from back to the future hehe.

I remember IBM doing copper interconnects from 1997 , I wonder how past research and today's new finding would show what can be possible.

The thing with superconductors that I hardly see people mention though is that they have (practically) 0 *DC* resistance, while for AC signals they still have a reactive component due to capacitive and inductive inertia, which are forms of losses though superconductivity def would reduce the AC losses and could even sustain LC oscillations for a much longer time given the extremely high Q-Factor.

@qrzone8167

9 ай бұрын

@@mmarissa95 Have you heard of "Leading/Lagging" in AC circuits? That is what they mean by "Inertia." Inductive circuits store potential energy within a magnetic field and this magnetic field takes time to collapse before it can induce CEMF which causes current to lag by 90 degrees. Capacitors need time to charge/discharge and do the opposite of inductors, they lead by 90 degrees. This is all because AC is always rapidly changing the direction of electron flow. DC is much more straightforward, current flows one way, and simply doesn't cause reactive components that are apparent in AC.} If you want to dig a little deeper you'll need to learn why a collapsing magnetic field causes lagging current, and why charging/discharging capacitors causes leading current. Plenty of great videos out there on this concept because it is fundamental to understand this when working with AC electricity.

@cosmicyoke

9 ай бұрын

@@mmarissa95 the concept is impedance, which involves both ohmic resistance and reactance, reactance is inertia against AC, it has a capacitive component which reduces with increasing frequency, and the inductive component reduces with decreasing frequency. The reason it happens with AC is because AC signals are constantly changing magnitude and direction, alternating. DC normally doesnt experience this, except in cases where there are DC transients, such as Pulsed DC, or when an inductor or capacitor 'charges' and 'discharges'. Any conductive wire apart from the resistive properties can also be modeled as having capacitive and inductive qualities, which they do, and when you have AC signals this cannot always be ignored, especially with increasing frequency.

It's not confirmed yet. Let's wait for another couple of days everything will become clear. Most likely the next week, even possibly this weekends. And within 1 month either confirmation or questioning papers/comments will become available as preprints, I believe.

I can hardly wait for your followup!

Yes, let's replace all the copper lines with superconductors. That'll recoup 5%!

Correct usage of the SI absolute temperature units is to say '400 Kelvins', NOT '400 degrees Kelvin'.

I hope people try to recreate these results soon. It would be game changing for my field, I work in microwave integrated circuits and having lossless interconnects would be a game changer. Especially as we approach THz frequencies. I would imagine that once the superconductor is replicated, it will quickly find its way into integrated circuit processes.

As someone who has had an interest in this for years, I can't even begin to explain how excited I am at the possibility of this, if confirmed by peers. The amount of feasible applications of this could really change so much about our world.

This is outstanding. Neodymium magnets under my back yard and my superconducting chair cruising around on top. :D

This material is a ceramic. It’s not a metal. It’s has the same material properties as a brick, this won’t be useful for most of the applications the video talks about. If it’s a superconductor, then it would be quantum locked. It’s bouncing. That’s maybe diamagnetism, not a superconductor. This video rushed for clicks and is filled with misinformation, flashy but incorrect.

I think the “battery” would be one of the coolest applications and also for fusion reactors, because all you’d have to do if I’m not mistaken is have an LC circuit pumped by a pulse every once in a while to maintain the oscillations, as the oscillations will die out of a load is attached to the LC oscillator, so you will need some more input the more energy is taken out, but it will still be super efficient and dramatically reduce energy consumption.
