Some optimism about the claim of a room-temperature superconductor
Last week, South Korean scientists claimed to have developed a room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor, called LK-99. It's hard to overstate how important this discovery would be. Just a few of the applications:
- Faster electronics
- Cheaper medical tech
- Improved quantum computing
- Frictionless transportation
- Massively improved energy efficiency
- Massively improved batteries
One can imagine a discovery of this type being a major contributor to solving climate change. — Read the rest
